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 - Shadorma

Shadorma is a syllable-counted six-line stanza.  The form is (3/5/3/3/7/5) You can read about it at the link below.

On Sunday, I'll be performing this famous Tommy Dorsey song for the first time.

It's a touchstone for trombonists.  I have the right horn and even the right glasses

If all goes well, I'll post a video.




liquid gold
from a golden bell
perfect sound
from the heart
and what i strive to achieve
when i play trombone

Carpe Diem's Little Ones #12, Shadorma
