the smell of canadian rain

A place to share your voices with janis so she can write them into a new play. What does Canadian rain smell like? Stars, apparently.

I was reading this year of haiku book today and got a little idea...

I think we should all try to write 3lines of thought daily and post them here. They don't have to be haiku form but should capture a precise moment in your day and consciousness and contain some reference to time/place. I think it would really feed the play with rich details... and it would be fun to see how we each experience the world, at least for one moment everyday.

Here's mine to start:

Shortcut through the park
Following swift grandma in polk-a-dots
Hard to believe this lot used to be a prison

2 middle-aged men danced -- an unlikely couple except that they were both drunk.
