The Lighter Side of JzB

Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side

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 #141, Kiji (Pheasant)

~ 1 ~

morning mist
over the grassy field
a pheasant rises

~ 2 ~

colorful cock
brightly preens on the prairie
for a dull mate

~ 3 ~

flying pheasant
not fast enough to escape
a shotgun blast

~ 4 ~

goose and pheasant date
dine on seeds and small insects
moose sulks in a lake

~ 5 ~

buzzing insect
flees the foraging pheasant
sticks in spider's web

    I dunno. Sometime people say the spider one is most classic.

    Between those two, I do go off the rails, sometimes.

    Cheers!

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!
