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 #32, Chèvrefeuille's 'lonely flower'




Inspiration

odoku na watashino nakamano tsu no yoruno hana

lonely flower
my companion
for one night


~:~:~

My humble offerings


~ 1 ~
 

after just one night
in the flower's company
i'm the lonely one


~ 2 ~

first flower of spring
with luck you won't be lonesome
for very long

 
~ 3 ~

which kind of flower
the bloom of a growing plant
or river water*


~ 4 ~

one lonely flower
is that not enough to please
an old man


~ 5 ~

first lonely flower
hopeful sign for moose and goose
that spring is coming

 
~ 6 ~

first lonely flower
draws a single lonely fly
to the spider's web

  2. If one lonely flower can't please the old man, then there's something wrong with...the flower? :)
