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 #300, Matsuyoi (Waiting Evening)

I didn't get a picture of the waiting moon, so here is a shot of the full moon we saw in July at Black Lake.  The clouds make it a striking image.



~ 1 ~

i bare my soul
to the not-quite-full moon
longing for you

~ 2 ~

when kooga appears
gratefully i must tell her
moonlight becomes you

~ 3 ~

antlers silhouette
against the autumn moon
goose soars to the south

~ 4 ~

cloud filtered moonlight
glints on orb weaver's silk strands
she waits for fresh flies

~~::~~

    For some reason, I'm enchanted this morning by the silhouette of Moose's antlers. Maybe it's because I'm feeling rather like a moose myself! :)

    Alternately, you could "bear" your soul "for" the moon. I guess it all depends on what you're up for on that particular night! ;)
