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 #246, Inspiration



~ 1 ~

on life's bumpy road
searching for those elusive
haiku moments

~ 2 ~

look inside
it's in there somewhere
north of your spleen

~ 3 ~

what the light bulb does
so bright above your head
it's working

~ 4 ~

web of silken threads
orb weaver's masterpiece
driven by hunger

~~::~~

    JzB Before I forget - your name at CD is linked to a strange website, not to here ??? Check it out! I especially liked your spider haiku tonight! Hunger as the great motivator to creativity! :) (I'm missing moose and goose!)

      Ooops - that's where I found the lightbulb pic.

      I'm not sure what inspires moose and goose. That might be hunger, too. They'll be back some day soon.

      Thanx,
      JzB

    There's a name for the spleen-and-liver-and-lung-and-intestine readers: haruspices (sing.: haruspex). Might you be one of their ilk? :)

    The first and fourth are wonderful, JzB!

    moose and goose wander
    looking for inspiration ~
    what does it look like?

    You always write cute haiku as responses. Thought I'd give it a try. Hope you had a good weekend!

      aha - good

      I'm raising a ruckus in an organization I belong to, and it's emotionally wrenching. Not the greatest week end. Oh well.

      Thnx,
