Haiga are pictures (paintings, sketches, or photos) that incorporate a subtly-linked haiku or similar poem. It’s not too late to enjoy f/k/a‘s free “haiga calendars” — the “artsy” Giacalone Bros. Haiga Calendar 2008 (with photos taken by my brother Arthur) and the nostalgic fka Haiga Memories Calendar 2008 (with shots snapped in the 1950’s by Mama Giacalone). The poetry is written by your Editor, “dagosan”. Click on “more” to go below the fold, where you will find larger images, the text of October’s poems, and links to the original haiga used for the October calendars.
In our prior post from last December, you will find descriptions and links to the full 12-month calendars, for printing or just viewing.
Just click on the sample calendar pages above or below to go to a printable full-size version. A link is also provided below to a larger version of each of the original haiga used for the calendars.
