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 #173, Threnody (provided by Mark M. Redfearn)


 THRENODY


~ 1 ~

voices raised
for those who can no longer
raise themselves


~ 2 ~

sometimes
even the survivors will 
never walk again

~ 3 ~

i search
for answers but only find
more questions

 

~ 4 ~

in the desert
on the mountain / by the lake
one small flower

  3. Strong series JzB. I can read and see that this prompt touches a lot of our participants in Carpe Diem. Maybe it was time to have a prompt like 'Threnody'.
