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 #144, Yuki no hate (end of snow)

We got a slight snow cover last night.  Partly sunny today, but still a bit below freezing, and it all evaporated.

Here are my thoughts, with an assist to Kristjaan


~ 1 ~

last snow melts
now the ground will be covered
with cherry blossoms

~ 2 ~

end of snow
what do we lose then
as spring is coming

~ 3 ~

late snow falling
old man in a barber chair
clippings on the floor

~ 4 ~

winters end
trees and bushes sprout new blooms
food for moose and goose

~ 5 ~

trees and bushes bloom
leaves sprout on once bare banches
spider's hiding place

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Carpe Diem #144

  1. It's always exciting to witness the season's changing. I enjoyed each verse in your haiku.

  2. I wonder if the old man enjoys the snowfall from his perch in the barber's chair...
