The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side

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 #151, Haru Fukashi (deep Spring)

Oh my.  As I write this, it is 34 degrees, overcast, and a very light snow is falling.  Not exactly deep winter, but far from deep spring, so I will have to resort to wishing and hoping.


~ 1 ~

walk with me my love
the day's warmth a reminder
of how dear you are

~ 2 ~

crocuses give way
to tulips in deep spring
roses are coming

~ 3 ~

in the depth of spring
old man basks in the bright sun
warms his weary bones

~ 4 ~

in deep spring
moose and goose frolic
in a shallow spring

~ 5 ~

some spider hatchlings
in the depth of spring

    "Mother, what's for breakfast?"

    "I am, my dears."

    "You mean you want us to eat you?"

    "Yes, darlings."

    "But, Mother, we shall miss you!"

    "Easy come, easy go, darlings. Now, start munching!"
