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 :-)

You have such a delightful and soulful way of writing..I love your images as well...your post truly made me smile and feel a bit more light hearted for that brief moment. Thank You, Tournesol
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.
That cup of tea must have been divine
Beautiful! Beautiful! All aspects of it. Thank you for sharing:)
The teacup is blessed...
