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 # 127 -- Courage

      "Robb says the man died bravely, but Jon says he was afraid."
      "What do you think?" his father asked.
       Bran thought about it.  "Can a man still be brave if he's afraid."
      "That is the only time a man can be brave," his father told him.

Career threatened
Challenging vice-presidents 
My proudest moments

Keep advancing
Unseen goal lies ahead
Fear be damned

Sitting by the phone
Fingers stay entwined
No first date

~ : ~

Dial the phone
Stammer out the words
She says yes

Goose on the wing
Gun sights focus on her heart
Moose charges hunter

Stalks from behind
Deposits his spider sperm
Treats her to lunch

  6. Moose and Goose certainly seem to have this thing going. Could it be love? Even if it's not, I love them!
