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.

found food ~ escaped poachers

splish splash taking a bath

=======================================
strutting across grass
.
colors of flowers displayed
.
proud as a peacock

swimming side by side
.
one brilliant ~ the other pale
.
faithful odd couple

(note; most common syllable count for “brilliant” is two)

Becca…
I passed the compliment on the blog to my grand daughter…she had refused when she lived here,
but time has passed and I figured her confidence had increased … I think it looks nice, also.
Thank you.
