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's Imagination #6, Pablo Picasso's "The Seated Man".

The Seated Man - Picasso


Off on wild tangents I go


~ 1 ~

on the iron throne
the psychopathic child king
speaks cruel justice*


~ 2 ~

from his wheel chair
the ancient artist captures
a moment of fate
 

~ 3 ~

forlorn last wish
robert gleason junior
selects his own doom
**


~ 4 ~

guitar on his knee
the master thrills us with notes
from his homeland




~~::~~ 

*   King Joffrey (Lannister) Baratheon, in case you were wondering.

**  As of this date, Gleason, a compulsive murderer even while in prison, was the most recent criminal to be executed by the electric chair, which he chose over lethal injection.

  1. A nice nod to Game of Thrones there! I'm always glad for footnotes as I wouldn't have known the third one (the murderer). I like all of these.
