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 #154, Shuntoo (Spring lantern)

~ 1 ~

by lantern light
when I look upon your face
lovely mystery


~ 2 ~

one evening in spring
as we walked under the trees
raindrops in lamplight


~ 3 ~

in the spring lamp light
casting a squat shadow
a fat toad


~ 4 ~

in the lantern light
old man sits and listens
by an empty chair

~ 5 ~

lamps in the distance
moose and goose don't understand
think they are fireflies


~ 6 ~

springtime lantern light
death trap for moths and flies
spider goes hungry

    how romantic the first haiku is.. i love the idea of two people being together for so long but each time they look at each others' faces, it's still a wonderful mystery ^^
