The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side

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 #296, Susuki (Pampasgrass)


 Pampas Grass (Susuki)


my little green lawn
dreams about the pampas grass
i dream of the stars

exotic dancers
swaying on the pampas
 in grass skirts

    My wife hates pampas grass, so she'd be dreaming of the stars with you!

    Oh I love your first one. I'm sure my little courtyard has dreams of pampas grass too!

      Love to use that first haiku in our upcoming Tan Renga Challenge Month if that's ok?

    Yes, JzB, the first one really sings - in every way. The second one is also very vivid and beautiful but the first one just stays on the back of mind :)
