The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)

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 # 125 - Wisdom



Sources of wisdom
Knowledge and experience
If you're not a fool

~:~:~

Not automatic
You have to think these things through
Leave out prejudice

~:~:~
 
Look to the real world
Contemplate the human mind
Not your own navel

 ~:~:~

I have a smart mouth
All this glib-tongue wise-guy stuff
From my wisdom teeth

~:~:~

Abode of the wise man
High upon the great mountain
Where the air is thin

~:~:~

On the mountain top
You can find the wise old moose
Silly goose stays home

~:~:~

In garden flowers
The wise spider spins her silk web
Nowhere near my broom
[revised]

    I often feel a bit overwhelmed by the offerings here....I like so many things about each one....do I have to choose? Espec. fond of the wisdom teeth, and the man on the mountain...

    No need to chose
    Like what you want
    Discard the rest

    Cheers!

    spoken like a real wise man. a great mix of haiku ^^ and smart spider! lol ^^ my fave is the first one. it's so true!! wisdom's born from knowledge and experience -- but of course, not all the time.. not applicable to fools at all! -- perfectly expressed. ^^

    I can't help but wonder if your wisdom teeth have ever gotten you in trouble...
