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.

C.D. Special #135 and Techniques #9



Timing!  I wrote a reflection poem for yesterday's prompt.

After reflecting on the model haiku, I came up with this cascade
reflections
on the water 
cascading ripples

cascading ripples
the traveler's staff poked

the traveler's gaze cast

    A great series, JazzBumpa. I'm really struck by the moment you've captured in your second haiku -- wonderful :)

    you created a visible moment - tearing the reflection to bits as an example of impermanence and then getting a rerun of sorts.
