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 goes back to it's roots #1



leaves fall in the north
goose migrates to mexico
moose sheds his antlers

green leaves turn orange
amid the colors we see
cold raindrops falling 

2nd verse inspired by Maggie Grace

in the japanese tea house
orange leaves swirl on my cup

  2. Yes, interesting insight, the parting of goose and moose. Very nice 2nd one, coldness and colour.

  3. Nice set JzB, but that second haiku is really a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.
    I would love to use this haiku for one of our next Tan Renga Challenges if that's ok with you.
