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 #155, Oborozuki (hazy moon)





~ 1 ~

in hazy moonlight
long ago beneath a tree
our first kiss

~ 2 ~

in hazy moonlight
I see my wife and know
her beauty endures

~ 3 ~

in hazy moonlight
even the mighty oak tree
casts no shadow

~ 4 ~
 
silhouette of wings
against the hazy moon
a lunar moth

~ 5 ~

the hazy moon glows
wispy clouds float overhead
a proud cat prances

~ 6 ~

in hazy moonlight
the brown moose and the white goose
both seem to be grey

~ 7 ~

rings of haze
surround the glowing moon
inspire orb weaver

( ( O ) )

    Along with Moose and Goose, I think I'm seeing in shades of grey this morning. I wonder why...

    Oak tree and Lunar moth are my favorites, but they are all excellent.
