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 1262 / Imaginary Garden -- Courtyard Blues

Today's Carpe Diem inspiration is this picture [attribution lost.]  Looks like an anything goes day at The Garden, so I'll share this there as well.

Took a sad, lonely turn with this blue image.


Courtyard Blues




in the blue courtyard
we shared blue margaritas
salty memory

~:~

in the blue courtyard
we met alone at midnight
taste of stolen sweets


~:~


in the blue courtyard
long i sat waiting for you
 you with him loving

~:~

in the blue courtyard
where our tempers flashed red hot
sitting cold and blue

~:~

in the blue courtyard
now i drink the blues alone
you and he are gone

  5. I like the way you've captured a whole story in your haiku series - I especially like:
    'in the blue courtyard
    we shared blue margaritas
    salty memory'
    and
    'in the blue courtyard
    now i drink the blues alone
    you and he are gone'.
