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 - Techniques #3

Repetition


I have to admit that I'm more taken with the idea of repetition within a haiku than I am with the examples given.  Though I am quite pleased with the striking image of this one.

when keeping still
we can still hear the sounds
of still smaller things

~:~

in just a moment
such a meaningful moment
with so much moment

~:~

in the deep weeds
as goose honks deep low of moose
deep in the weeds

~:~

when the flies fly
orb weaver casts her net
for flying flies

[h/t to Mystic]

clouds grace the sky
under the sheltering sky
we gaze up to the sky
