The Lighter Side of JzB

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.

"The goal is to write/compose an all new haiku inspired on the given haiku and in the same sense, tone and spirit as the given verse/haiku."

    I like this very very much for it's concreteness, the fact it does not stray into preaching of faith. Haiku must be real. Well-done.

      Thanks, Hamish. Not being a person of faith, I really struggled with this one.

    I'm guess that the light is pretty well smothered by that cloud blanket...

      Here in MI we have a lot of days with dense cloud cover, and sometimes the sun gets far enough west to peek under it before it sets. I couldn't find a picture that captured it very well.

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
