The Lighter Side of JzB

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 #119 - Windmill

Dutch Windmill in Sakura, Japan
Wikipedia Commons




 Windmill waves to me
Across a field of tulips
Every day a grind

~  :  ~

On a windy day
While frolickers fly their kites
Windmill plies its trade

~  :  ~
  
Blind date at windmill
Not terribly romantic
Plus they're going Dutch

~  :  ~

Moose tilts at windmill
Antlers raking through the sails
Wise Goose ducks his head

    Oh, you're just having way too much fun with these prompts, sir! You need to sober up! Wait! Don't take my advice. Just keep doing what you're doing. I get my daily laugh quota just from my visits here. Thank you!

    OMG! This is funny! I was thinking of the one you wrote to your wife as I wrote my last comment above. I really love the waving windmill in this one. :-)
