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 #89 - Tomorrow


TOMORROW

When tomorrow comes
One more opportunity
One more step through life

 ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

What is it bringing
Only tomorrow can say
What is it taking

 ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

When it arrives here
Today becomes yesterday
Tomorrow is now

 ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The first future step
From today to tomorrow
The last of the past


I can't say I'm especially pleased with this set. It all seems trite and obvious.

    I think we are often our worse critics. They are all quite nice ( # 3 being my fave )
