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 Special #101, Jim Kacian's 2nd "after snow"


 Today's assignment is to compose a new haiku in the same sense, tone and spirit as the model by this month's featured haiku poet.


after snow
the faint yellowness
of the white house

a fall of fresh snow
perfect blanket on the earth
marred by my footprints

~~::~~

bright sun after rain
in the fresh scrubbed atmosphere
grass shines green-yellow

    The first one really speaks to me.. the fresh blanket of white snow.. it's almost a sacrilege to mar its perfection.

    There's something almost supernatural about the intense green-yellow glow of the sun on the grass after a storm .... really liking this!

    I love the immaculate snow covered ground, like a blanket and something special is sleeping underneath, if you trample over it, the magic disappears.

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!
JzB
