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 #275, Longing for the Unknown

This prompt reminded me of the haibun I wrote last Tuesday.

So today's first senryu is a companion piece to it.

~~~

those many sad years
i knew not what i longed for
then i found you

 ~~~

tonight i sleep
and dream about tomorrow
bring it on 

~~~

inspired my MMT [not Modern Monetary Theory]

 the seeker goes blind
to mysterious places
the desert beckons

Carpe Diem #275

  1. You managed the not knowing theme so well in your creations.
    .
    I found you today
    longing of the past thwarted
    let us dance in joy

  3. I am also happy you found the love of your life. I was so disillusioned by love... my own life's... but over the years I have met people that truly met the love of their life at all ages...teens that have been wed for 60 plus years, people fifty and over that met that love of their life and decided to just enjoy the time left. And those inbetween. That all being said...
    it is heartwarming to know that love still exists for some ... and they aren't afraid to express it.
    I don't know if that all makes sense, ... but I tried to express something I know little about ☺
    Peace...and love,
    Siggi
