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 #133, Risshun (coming of Spring)




~1~

early in Springtime
sunlight bursting at first dawn
old snow glistens

~2~

tulips open
cherry blossoms undisturbed
first bees

~3~

two lips open
absent parents undisturbed
first kiss

~4~

icicles melt
drip from moose's antlers
cold drink for goose

~5~

crocus opens
busy spider undisturbed
weaving her round web

    Oh, that cunning, yet enterprising, goose: thirsty and knows how to quench her thirst!

    Can't wait for those flowers to show up! Just a single crocus would be enough to light my fire!

    Lovely set of haiku! The essence of the coming of spring beautifully captured. The first one is my favourite. Cheers!

    All lovely...special affection for cherry blossom and bees. I don't quite connect to moose. All wonderful to read.

    These are lovely, but the third is my favourite. Young lovers should make the most of absence, as you too may one day be the parents!
