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.

Haiku Heights #278 ~ Ballet

A chance to do a little bragging

a fairie on tiptoes our
granddaughter on stage


~~::~~

tedious to stretch
but keep those muscles limber
detonate in dance

Bonus:
Here is a poem Amanda's middle sister Rebekka wrote 4 years ago
when she was 9

 A GIRL

I know a girl
Who loves to loves to dance.
When she dances,
It's almost like she is floating on air.

I know a girl who loves to swim.
When she swims,
It seems like she's flying under water.

I know a girl who likes to dream big dreams.
When she dreams,
She goes to her own land that will always be hers . . .

This girl is . . .
Smart,
Funny,
Hilarious,
Sweet and,
Fabulous!


No girl in the whole world can ever be even close,
Ever be even similar to her.
