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 #126 -- Hope






Who is in your dreams
When your heart takes you to bed
Could I be the one

~  :  ~

First robin's cold song
Daffodils rise from the mud
Now Spring is coming

~  :  ~

Cherish a desire
Anticipate fulfillment
You must practice well

~  :  ~

Goose soars overhead
Moose meets a fine looking cow
Hope springs eternal

~  :  ~

Weaver spins her web
A new home for all her nits
Now she sits and waits

[I think I am in error here
I thought spider eggs/young
were called "nits" but can't 
find anything that verifies it]

    spring perfumes the air
    moose has romance on his mind
    goose seeks a gander : ) P

    There is a little love hiding in your hope, I'd like to point out.

    Chuckles for the wit in all! Like the last stanza! It offers hope after spinning the web. They have an uncanny talent to have the web at a strategic place. Somehow they can see the big picture. Nicely JzB!

    Don't know if this has happened to others, but I had a bit of issue posting comment - repeated clicks on 'publish' required....

    Really? Are baby spiders called nits? I learned something new through your wit!

    Love how these haiku begin with a personal thought and then become profiles of Nature's creatures! Lovely!
