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 Special #28, Onitsura's Cherry-Flowers




Inspirational haiku, by Onitsura

 saku-karani miru-karani hana no chiru-karani

the cherry-flowers bloom;
we gaze at them;
they fall, and ...



Inspired haiku, by JzB

~ 1 ~

remember last year
the cherry blossoms fell
this year .  .  .  the next .  .  .

~ 2 ~

cherry blossoms fall
what does this mean to me
or to you

~ 3 ~

cherry blossoms fall
like the blushing maidens fall
later  .  .  . the fruit

~ 4 ~
 
cherry blossoms fall
old man in the pink shower
holds fast his secret

~ 5 ~
 
cherry blossoms fall
moose and goose wander by
have them for dessert

~ 6 ~
 
cherry blossoms fall
orb weaver spinning her web
takes no notice

~ 7 ~

[inspired by Bjorn]

like the cherry bloom
in the rich fullness of time
even mountains fall
