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.

Carpe Diem #137, Usurai (thin ice)


 


~ 1 ~

thin frost layer
on my martini glass
dry ice

 ~ 2 ~

Spring morning
I cleverly test the ice
my foot is wet

~ 3 ~

cormorant
stares longingly through the ice
fish stare back

~ 4 ~

risk taker
tempts fate skating
on thin ice

~ 5 ~

icy pond
goose steps on cicada wings
wise moose waits on shore

~ 6 ~

cicada wings
coat orb weaver's web
no dinner for her

    A wet foot means only one thing: You've lost your ice-testing knack!
