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 Special #24 -- Rouge Flower

Inspirational Haiku by Chiyo-Ni:
  
the dew of the rouge flower
when it is spilled
is simply water


What you get from me:


Rouge flower
Plucked from its bed
Sticky fingers

~:~

Simple water
From a flower's cup
Refreshing


~:~

Only water
From a flower's cup
Wet and flat


~:~

Plucked flower
Turned upside down
Wet spot


 ~:~

Short poems
On the subject of dew
Condensed verse

~:~

Rouge Flower dew
Moose and Goose share a cup
Wish for nectar


~:~

Dewdrops on the web
Spider spills them to the ground
Drinks fly fluids

~:~

  1. What I see in Coyo-Ni's example is a sense of loss from despoiling nature. So my attempts relate to disappointment, irreversible change, longing for what can't be, and bad choices.

  2. I'm afraid I am well acquainted with disappointment and bad choices, but I am far from disappointed in your condensed verse and those undoubtedly delicious fly fluids! Thank you!

  4. You were really inspired by Chiyo-Ni. That last haiku is my favorite it's in the Spirit of Chiyo-Ni.
