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 #232, Semi (Cicada)



~ 1 ~

cicada's sad song
brings no comfort to children
summer's almost done


~ 2 ~

at sunset
i hear the cicada's song
find an empty husk

 

~ 3 ~

buzzing reminder
goose considers migration
moose thinks solitude


~ 4 ~

cicada's song
no comfort for orb weaver
just an empty husk

~ 5 ~

split-back husk
cicada outgrows it
and then moves along

~ 6 ~
 
bold crescendo
cacophonous orchestra
plays bug symphony

~~::~~ 
 

Carpe Diem #232

  7. I'm with Moose: I choose solitude.

    After hearing the cicada's song, and finding the empty husk, some people would seek a full flask!

  8. So summery and I can feel the screscendo, JZB. Enjoyed them all, though the most drawn to the second one.

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!
