The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)

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 #140, Hamaguri (cherry stone clam)

~ 1 ~

springtime joy
toenails in the water
happy as a clam

~ 2 ~

cherrystone clam
opens wide for wasabi
hot time tonight

~ 3 ~

eating clams
chewy rubbery tasteless
I bite my tongue

~ 4 ~

interrogation
stubborn mollusk will not speak
he just clams up

~ 5 ~

cherrystone clams
moose and goose shrug and depart
search for grass and forb

~ 6 ~

empty clamshell
perfect frame for a small web
and a small spider
 
(..)

    I'm with Moose and Goose on this one: an impossible prompt, which I'm going to have to shrug off.
