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 #135, Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival)





~1~

my paper doll
mine and mine alone
keep your hands off


~2~

dolls on a boat ride
return then to the temple
have a hot party

~3~

doll festival
old man stays home alone
drinks shirozake

~4~

stuffed animals
fluffy dolls of goose and moose
good bed buddies

~5~

festival over
patient spider spins her web
in broken doll's head

~6~

doll festival
one day only - the next day
no dolls march forth

    All alone but the shirozake is still part of the festivities to retain the connection. Nicely JzB!
