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 Tan Renga Challenge #9, free like a bird

Today's initial verse is from Kristjaan.  This is how it works:

"The goal of this Tan Renga Challenge is to write a second stanza (7-7) to complete the Tan Renga which I started. Tan Renga is very similar with Tanka, but Tan Renga is written by two poets. It's a short form of the Kasen Renga or the Renga (chained verse)."

This made me think of granddaughter Amanda, just back from a week in New York with the Rockettes.  I know what dream she wants to catch.



fly like an eagle
as free as a bird in the sky
be a dreamcatcher 

~~

and what great heights you might reach



One of my dreams is to be able to play great music with a competent ensemble.  I'm delighted that it comes true so frequently - most recently just this last Sunday.

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!
