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 #191, The Lovers (VI) Tarot




~ 1 ~

here we are two fools
man and woman naked
what could go wrong


~ 2 ~

god's high mystery
can it be revealed
in man's base instinct

 
~ 3 ~

the urge says thou shall
but the commandment says not
god's sense of humor


~ 4 ~

old man peruses
woman man lofty angel
which one would he chose


~ 5 ~

goose soars upward
to the angel - moose stays down
with naked people


~ 6 ~

one tree holds a snake
the other engulfed in flames
no place for spider

    Good question JzB! Why it had to be the apple!
