The Lighter Side of JzB

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 Special #38, Kyoshi Takahama's 'a gold bug'.

There will be episodes this Summer when posting will be 
spotty to non-existent.  
I managed to get in one more post
before the current hiatus.



Inspirational haiku

kogane-mushi nageutsu yami no fukasa kana

a gold bug -

I hurl into the darkness
and feeling the depth of night

~~:~~:~~

little sparks from the depth of my night

~ 1 ~

fireflies dancing
little bits of bright stardust
when the sun goes down


~ 2 ~

old man smiles watching
his grandchildren chase fireflies
on a summer night


~ 3 ~

firefly swarm
draws an unsuspecting man
to the fairy queen


~ 4 ~

moose is dingy brown
goose [when clean] is a bright white
but lightning bug GLOWS


~ 5 ~

does spider revel
in the warm glow cast by a
firefly in the web

  4. That first haiku is my favorite JzB, I like the balance in that one ... and the fragility of the image you paint with your words. Thank you for sharing.
