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 # 22 - Chiyo-Ni's Morning Glory

Inspiration Haiku:
 
morning glory!
the well bucket-entangled,
I ask for water

Results:

In beauties strong fist
I am captured forever
By its strong tendrils


~  :  ~  :  ~

Morning Glories climb
Grasp and tie up in a snare
Like jealous lovers


~  :  ~  :  ~

Save me from beauty
It has me in a death grip
I need room to breath

~  :  ~  :  ~
 
Moose stopped to smell them
Now his antlers are entrapped
Goose asks for scissors

 ~  :  ~  :  ~

Amid the tendrils
Spider weaves her own deft trap
Snare within a snare 

~  :  ~  :  ~
