karumi













plum petal drifts
floating in through open window
lands in the teacup

lands in the teacup
precious extra for my guest
glimpse of good fortune





quick sketch in ink
charcoal reveals soul of girl
colour adds substance








outside the grocer's
plants beckon more than food -
worth a shot






Today's sketch was inspired by an exquisite haibun about a demure Japanese girl, written by Hamish. She was reincarnated outside the Waitrose grocery store and more interested in the flowers around the carpark than the goods indoors.
BTW, I turned the asphalt into green grass and made the plants more colourful than they were. But as an artist, that is my prerogative :-)

I really love the imagery for the first haiku. It is really karumi. The rest of the pictures and poems are wonderful as well.

Splendid! It is wonderful how the haiku group inspires each other.
