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 #172, Small Mountain (provided by YerPirate)





~ 1 ~

volcanic action
tectonics or erosion
whence thou small mountain


~ 2 ~

small mountain
old man leans hard
on his walking stick


~ 3 ~

the view
of a pair of small mountains
delightful

 
~ 4 ~

goose can fly
over a small mountain
moose takes the low road


~ 5 ~

in a small bush
on a little mountain
tiny spider web

  4. You've done it again, JzB. Taken me through the gamut of small mountain 'takes' I am with the old man on his trek, I lean pretty hard when I hike uphill these days and the haiku itself it perfect!!
