The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)

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 #94 - Jazz

JAZZ

That's ME on the trombone solo


JAZZ

 Cool swinging rhythms
A saxophone wailing high
Trombones supporting

~ | ~

Trombones supporting
Trumpet riffs in a cascade
Wild man thumps the bass

~ | ~

Wild man thumps the bass
Wide eyed kid pounds the keyboard
The drummer hangs loose

~ | ~

The drummer hangs loose
In a dim-lit smokey bar
Toking between sets

~ | ~

Toking between sets
Getting ready to soar high
On cool swinging jazz

~ | ~

On cool swinging jazz
In a haiku that holds my name
Feel syncopation

~ | ~

Feel syncopation
An old trombonist speaks out
Cool swinging rhythms

    All the instruments come to life in your haiku.

    I was absolutely sure you will nail this one! Not just through the lines of your haiku but also on the video. Ese
