Illustrated Haiku

Something I have recently begun to love doing is to write my own Haiku and then either make a piece of art or take a photo to go along with them. As you'll notice I use different methods for creating the illustrations. Sometimes I start by writing the Haiku, which inspires the art, other times a piece of art or a photo will inspire the poem. 

When I have enough made, I'm thinking of either making a calender from them or a book.

This form of Haiku is actually called HAIGA ,although I am not totally sure it would apply to my work because I don't paint the illustrations according to the traditional ways.

"FROST"
Frost on the windows
brought by fairies in the night
a wondrous sight

"Winter's Harbinger"
Bony fingers claw
cotton tufts in cobalt skies
winter's harbinger

"Wishes"
Make a wish and blow
hopes and dreams float on breezes
when dandelions fly

"Untitled"
As Mother exhales
each breath casts seeds whirling round
gifting us with trees

"Untitled"
Luminous teardrops
weeping from a Mother's eyes
soothes her arid skin

"Flamingo"
In mute solitude
veiled by swirling morning mists
patient flamingo

"Feast"
Bright fields of flowers
a banquet for those who seek
nectar hidden deep
