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 Special #41, Kikusha-Ni's 'lost in the woods'.


Inspirational haiku by Kikusha-Ni.

lost in the woods
only the sound of a leaf
falling on my hat


I get a variety of feelings from this haiku, not all consistent with each other: foreboding, hope, oneness with nature, isolation from nature, new beginning, possibly even end of life.


 Inspired haiku by JzB


~ 1 ~

alone in the woods
beyond the arching boughs
storm clouds gather

~ 2 ~

alone in the woods
old man finds a fallen branch
new walking stick

~ 3 ~

in the deep still woods
even moose and goose
remain silent

~ 4 ~

alone but not lost
in the depth of the woods
spider spins her home

~ 5 ~
 
For Arya Stark

deep in the woods
dire wolf gathers her pack
warg Nymeria

    Do wargs ever wag their tail? Or their tales?

    That spider does it for me JzB. Really wonderful haiku with different sights on 'lost in the wood' of Kikusha-Ni.

    I agree! This poem suggested all of the emotions you describe - like a good haiku often does! Your responses are spot on! Every one - although, the first is my favorite!

    I like them all! I seem to be very fond of moose and goose but tough to pick favorite because they all affect me in a different way. Nicely done!

    Wonderfully penned, JzB. My favourite still being the first one - there's something about those gathering storm clouds...
