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 # 123 - Bells

Blue Bells of Scotland


Blue Bells of Scotland 
Old song of woodland flowers 
From a trombone bell 


~  :  ~  :  ~

 From a high tower
Bells ring for us a signal
New joy or sorrow

~  :  ~  :  ~

 Hear ye - Hear ye well
On the Main Street of our town
Crier rings his bell

~  :  ~  :  ~

Moose looks familiar
His sad long face rings a bell
Goose goes in disguise

~  :  ~  :  ~

In an old brass bell
Clapper bound up in silk threads
Spider spins its web

 ~  :  ~  :  ~

The Sound of Bells 


 Dancing on the strings
La guitarista's fingers
Spider on silk thread


~  :  ~  :  ~

  1. You've outdone yourself here, especially with the song pouring out of the trombone bell, and the spider weaving in the brass bell. A true haiku-ist!
