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 "Little Ones"#4, Tanka

Having just completed the tan renga challenge, my mind stays in the same vein for the tanka.


hear the cricket song
the prostitute sings for me
beautiful chirping
tomorrow i must send her
tanka written on a fan


Another effort in a slightly different vein


in the pale moonlight
i find my way to her house
no one else at home
we share our illicit love
tomorrow we are strangers


Carpe Diem's "Little Ones"#4, Tanka

    You did a great job on tanka ... so close to how it's meant to be ... a secret love-letter.

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.
