Haiku by Ban'ya Natsuishi of Japan.
Sayumi's husband's haiku. Ban'ya wrote a batch of haiku about his eye desease, which were later included in his haiku book. I made the cover and illustrations for the book. This haiga is one of the illustrations. The original was black and white. I added colors and some elements.

I'm lucky to have my sight, though it is becoming weaker.
Coincidently, this just the other day-
sun in my eyes
her beauty resides
in my memory
My best wishes to our afflicted haijin.
Good haiku, John-san. Here is my renku to follow;

Lying down on the grass
slight itch on my back
wind and clouds
changing with my moods
raindrops on my cheek
Very poignant haiga. I wish him well.

Here is another renku to follow:
Another rainy day
she brightens her make up
my face!
a startled snowbird
in the window
I feel I've imposed on you too much, kuni_san. You are too kind.
I think you know how to find me.
I haven't much to offer, but you're
welcome anytime.

I enjoyed the renku. We will do this again sometime.
Spring sky,
two clouds coming together
and then part
Linda-san: Please be at ease, he has recovered and energetically writing haiku. Plus that, he organized two haiku and poem festivals since then.
Kuni san: Thank you - I'm glad to hear that.
