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 #115 - Tango


River of silver
Your passionate ebb and flow
Inspires the tango

~ : ~ : ~

Estuary dance
Mingling of wave and current
Sea in river's bed

~ : ~ : ~

Slaves and peons dance
With passion and street wisdom
Later - high culture

~ : ~ : ~

She twirls and pivots
Skirts sailing high like rain clouds
Long legs entice me

~ : ~ : ~

Seductive swaying
Senorita holds me close
Who could resist her

~ : ~ : ~

Lost in the tango
Dance or mating ritual
Feathers stand on end

~ : ~ : ~

Enticing tango
Intoxicated moose dance
Tangle of antlers

~ : ~ : ~

 Carpe Diem #115

    Your set is wonderfully seductive until the last, when I burst out laughing! Thanks! (I tried to write about elks but couldn't make it work) You did!

    Thanks all. My embedded video disappeared, and I can't bring it back.

    Mystery.

    Cheers!

    Though all are excellent in their own right, but 2nd is sensuous, excellent and what an allegory. I could never see it that way!

    You dove deep into this one; each a gem on Tango and the haiku dance. :-)

    Wonderful set of tango haiku, and an intoxicated moose to top it of. Quite brilliant.

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!
