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 #131 - Caterpillar



Monarch Caterpillar Picture Source



fat ugly worm
lies down in a bed of silk
wakes up beautiful

~:~

winged mother
flits among my tomatoes
leaves terrible tot

~:~

ravenous youth
after a long silken sleep
lives only to mate

~:~

caterpillar
slips into rouge flower's cup
drowns in nectar

~:~

in pale moonlight
green worm saunters on antlers
goose sees lunar moth

~:~

cocoon spinner
twirls along side weaver's web
just out of reach

  8. Thank you for visiting my haiku. What a nice community this is. I love your last haiku. I fear my first attempts always had the poor caterpillar in some dark place. lol. I see you were having the same thoughts ;-)
