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 #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]

  8. 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!

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

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

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