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.

Fireblossom Friday - The Distorted Lens

So I've wandered back, at long last, into the Imaginary Garden.

Fitting, since I did just see a real toad on the walkway in front of my house.

Today's challenge: 'So, your task is to write from the point of view of someone who is seeing reality through a distorted lens."

And here it is, if it qualifies.  I have no idea where it came from.

OH 

oh
it's you again
you
coming here
again

i did not invite you
here
to fling your fervid finger dance
on my hilltops

to slyly slither your stealthful 
wending way
along my hedge row

nor play your probing game of sinking
for a short while
into my silent secret bog

a short while 
too short
too short

and look at you
how you thrash and flail
spewing ragged steamy breath spasms
until that final gasp
when you heave your heavy ploughman's sigh

oh

are you still here

alright then
kiss me if you must
you must

no
not there

there
yes there
yes
more deeply

yes

there

oh

oh

OH

Afterthought: after reading Hedgewitch's entry, it occurred to me that this might also be about the incubus. A new and intriguing slant, perhaps.

  3. Oh, my goodness. Made me think of Ada Doom and her "I saw something nasty in the woodshed" but I don't know what made me think that...

  4. Hmm, perhaps a case of protesting too much?

  5. So good to see you again! Playing hard to get, just a little too hard?

  6. A clever twist to the prompt, Jazzy! Nice to see you back!
