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 #156, Tako (kite)

~ 1 ~

high soaring kite
seems to be flying free
bird on a leash

~ 2 ~

dragon kite
soaring high overhead
no fire in the wind

~ 3 ~

no kite this time
Daenerys soars on Drogon
fire in the wind

~ 4 ~
 
your image
on a high flying kite
tugs at my heart strings

~ 5 ~

old man flies a kite
remembering a time when
the wind filled his sails

~ 6 ~

goose's kite string
tangles in moose's antlers
born on an ill wind

~ 7 ~

spider hatchling
sails off on a silken thread
a living kite

    Such wonderful words and visions for all your haiku. Giggles for kite in moose's antlers but still a lovely read. "bird on a leash"...excellent ♥

    Nice. It is fun to see this--I also had the concept of the leash. I don't read everyone else's (except sometimes Kristjaan's) before doing my own, so we thought alike :) And thanks for explaining moose and goose. It is a fun thing to read.

    I am enchanted by the tiny living kite, sailing away on a silken thread. Oh, lovely!

    old man flies a kite
    remembering a time when
    the wind filled his sails

    A wonderful series of haiku JzB, but the above one is really my favorite.
