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 # 117 - Sakura








Sweet song of cherries
Fragrant blossoms fill the air
Music fills my soul

 ~ : ~ : ~

Sakura drummers
Dancing with both hands and feet
Make a joyful noise


~ : ~ : ~

Exotic rhythms
Mallots flying through the air
Call me to the East


 ~ : ~ : ~

 Pink petals falling
On the just and the unjust
Sweet and sour cherries*


~ : ~ : ~

Goose draws with his quill
Emakimono of moose
Drumming with his hooves

~ : ~ : ~

* Per Lolly's recommendation

  4. Thanks. Sometime over the last few days the moose has become a fixture in my carpe diem posts. Goose got a special invitation from Mystic.

    Cheers!

  13. As usual the moose is great, but the second to last is brilliant and in line with our poet of the month.
