The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)

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 #284, Endless Skies


deep down in texas
blue skies reach eternity

~~~
through endless blue
goose soars toward the setting sun
moose grazes on greens

 ~~~

through serene blue
fly buzzes unaware - finds
its end in a web

~~~

and with a hat tip to MMT

how the old haijin
though an imperfect human
keeps reaching skyward

 ~~~

Carpe Diem #284

    Well, of course, I'm partial to the "tip of the hat" one! ;)

    The first one made me laugh out loud.
    What would humans do if they did not have the weather to complain about?
    Keep writing, old haijin, and I'll keep reading!
