Today on Carpe Diem we are asked to: 

be creative and share haiku inspired on by Buson.

Buson was, next to his haiku writing, also a painter

and it is he who brought back the haiga.

.

A haiga is a painting in which haiku and picture
become one.

Here are my haiku to share…am not sure I met the task.
I invite you
to enjoy my attempts to write haiga.
