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 #113 - Joyful


 ~ : ~ : ~

Old man blows his horn
Music flows out from the bell
Makes a joyful noise

~ : ~ : ~

Once I was depressed
Then played at a festival
Music was my cure

~ : ~ : ~

Planted long ago
The seed became a stout tree
Today it brings joy

~ : ~ : ~

Old man's greatest joy
To see all his grandchildren
Growing strong and free

~ : ~ : ~

In early Springtime
Moose stare in wonder

~ : ~ : ~

Moments of joy
Little hints of heaven
Here on earth

  2. What a wonderful set of haiku, every one a little treasure, but this one (to me) is the greatest diamond you have shared here:

    Moments of joy
    Little hints of heaven
    Here on earth

    Thank you JzB for sharing these with us.

  3. Is Paul Krugman your greatest joy? You gave him top billing, before your trombone, your grandchildren and even the elk! :D

  4. KZ -
    Thank you. You have wise thoughts.

    WabiSabi -
    Krugman gets top billing today.
    The kids - every other day.
    Music fills the spaces.
    Elk are just for fun.

    Cheers!

  5. Fun and joyful. You're not going into my Wordpress spam filter, but I am checking it daily because other fabulous writers are (for no discernible reasons). And I'm glad you comment--I like to comment a lot, too. It's nice for writers to find community.

  8. I imagine that a cavorting elk is a sight to behold. No wonder the moose stare in wonder!

  12. Beautiful set of Haiku. These two are my favourites:

    In early Springtime
    Elks cavort in verdant joy
    Moose stare in wonder

    Moments of joy
    Little hints of heaven
    Here on earth

    Cheers!
