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 #193, Mother's Day

Is my Mom beautiful, or what?


~ 1 ~

poor anna jarvis
mother's day got commercial
who would ever guess

~ 2 ~

today is a day
to think of your mom with love
just like every day

~ 3 ~

counting his blessings
old man gets another chance
to take mom to lunch

~ 4 ~

every one of us
has a mother to cherish
even moose and goose

~ 5 ~

spider remembers
when she saw her mother first
and how she escaped

~~ : ~~ : ~~

    To think with love just like every day...so true, JzB! we don't need one special day in a year to feel...special because the bond with mother...just is.

    Whenever I rail against the horrors of the internet and too much information, I am directed to a place like this that exudes the simple meaning of life, love. Thank you for sharing, and I confess envy at still having a mom to visit. Happy birthday to her and mnay more.

    She's really 92? Amazing! (Yes, go visit those white cranes with her.)

This is a fun blog. Light-hearted banter is welcome. Snark is not. If you want to fight, find my other blog.

Play nice, and we'll all have fun.

I like to return visit, when I can - but I need to find you. If you have multiple blogs, please leave a direct link to the appropriate post.

Cheers!
JzB
