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 
into the water

into the water
the traveler's gaze cast

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

  2. Great series and I agree with Jen the second haiku is a masterpiece!

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