The Lighter Side of JzB

Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku

"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.

*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Carpe Diem #86 - Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle
Photo by Bill Ward found here


I had to do a little reading on the Honeysuckle, a flower I know in name only.



HONEYSUCKLE

 Some delicate types
Won't grow in the temperate zone
They're subtropical

 ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

 Sweet smelling blossoms
Decorate the green garden
Bringing hummingbirds

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 Trumpet shaped flowers
Fill the air with your beauty
Play me a love song

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 What better place
To explore love's allure than
In honeysuckle

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 That sweet aroma
Of honeysuckle lingers
Gives away my tryst 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Dragonflies prefer
Honeysuckle nectar in
Their buttercup tea

Carpe Diem # 86

    Lovely, this one surpasses the rest:
    Trumpet shaped flowers
    Fill the air with your beauty
    Play me a love song.
    The first one could be in a Plant Encyclopaedia...
    :)

    But so few plant encyclopedias are written in verse . . .

    Cheers!

    What a delightful variety on the prompt!! Thank you for sharing -- your "investigation" produced creativity. AND, I certainly am tickled by the haiku you left for me. :)

This is a fun blog. Light-hearted banter is welcome. Snark is not. If you want to fight, find my other blog.

Play nice, and we'll all have fun.

I like to return visit, when I can - but I need to find you. If you have multiple blogs, please leave a direct link to the appropriate post.

Cheers!
