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 # 112 - Buddha



Under the blue sky
Above the soil of the earth
Find the middle way

~ : ~

 You
Tried
As an
Ascetic
Found that path wanting
Buddha show us the middle way

 ~ : ~

Buddha help me find
The way to escape from Yer
Pirate's spam filter

    Welcome to Pirate's spam, it's very dark in the hold of his ship and I didn't spot you here. We can plan a mutiny, eh, matey!!
    I always enjoy my visits to your jam sessions JzB! You are hilarious. See you in Pirate's spam!

    I'm laughing (sorry) at your plaintive plea to Buddha. I hope Yer Pirate reads and heeds. By doing so, he could become Buddha's helper!

    Pirate hasn't commented here in a while.

    He probably thinks I don't reciprocate.

    Alas

    The first one is well done and 'spot on' ~ the second one rather quizzical and 3rd ~ Fun!

    Buddha as a middle way is very agreeable. You were in my spam filter for a while. But no longer :-)

    Wonderful JzB ... I like that one about Yer Pirate very well ... brought a bright smile (like the one of Buddha) on my face.

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!
JzB
