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 # 99 -- Love Story

My haiku relates not to the movie, but to my own life.


Two lovers parted
Years later found each other
Old love new again


A different, longer poem I wrote about it ended this way


What great surprise to find I loved you still
And greater still that you loved me


Yesterday was our 22nd anniversary.
It's been the best third of my life.

Now you know.

    I actually know a couple to whom this happened to. They had dated in high school but went their separate ways post graduation only to reunite 20 years later.They are now married and expecting a child. Hurrah for love!

    Thanks, all.

    When we met again, we each had two kids.

    Now we have 11 grandchildren.
