	Contemporary Haibun Online: An Edited Journal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Contemporary haibun is a combination of prose and haiku poetry, sometimes described as 'a narrative of epiphany'.
		In haibun the connections between the prose and any included haiku may not be immediately obvious, or the haiku may deepen the tone, or take the work in a new direction, recasting the meaning of the foregoing prose, much as a stanza in a linked-verse poem revises the meaning of the previous verse.
		The word "haibun" is sometimes applied to longer works, such as the memoirs, diaries, or travel writings of haiku poets, though technically they are parts of the separate and much older genres of journal and travel literature (nikki and kikôbun).

	Spiderwords ::: On Poetry - by Michael Lohr
		Haibun is a combination of brief prose and haiku, originally written in the form of a travel journal, it has transcended such confines and now essentially it is utilized as a descriptive tool to communicate any thought that comes to mind.
		The primary goal of the haibun is to let the reader use their imagination to immerse himself or herself in the experience or vision of the writer.
		Haibun and Haiku are my absolute favorite forms of poetry, and being a fan of good horror fiction and poetry, I would love to see more horror haibun and haiku being written and published.

		As practiced today, haibun is a type of autobiographical prose combined with haiku poetry.
		The haibun prose style is terse, does not follow typical rules of grammar (sometimes even verbs are omitted) and is imagistic - focused on description.

	Global Haiku Haibun Kukai Favorites
		One of the haibun in the kukai stood out to me amongst all the others in the kukai, on the very first page… “While teaching in China…” The prose is very sweet, and gives a wonderful picture of the meaningful relationship between the narrator and the student.
		It is like the haibun is a stem and each haiku is a petal that isn’t quite shaded the same, but if it were to be plucked from the stem you could still identify to which flower it belonged.
		This haibun is good because it portrays the grandmother on two levels: one as a storyteller/grandmother and the other as a young girl going to her senior prom.

		Haibun is a combination of prose and haiku poetry.
		While the original Japanese haibun, by Basho for example, tended to focus on journies, contemporary haibun tends to focus on everyday experiences—the journey of the human being living in urban settings.
		Some have described haibun as a narrative of an epiphany, but many haibun are simply narratives of special moments in a person's life.

	What Next (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The haibun is a prose passage, followed by a single-line haiku of a varying number of syllables.
		For one thing, the poems arrive quite naturally, along with each delicate surprise that happens at the end when prose is followed by a space that in turn is followed by a line.
		For me, haibun seem to happen forth in full sound costume as my mind plays in the language only to find what later will be called work.

		I have gotten in the habit of using the term "haibun" loosely to refer to a composition that includes both prose and poetry as more-or-less equal partners.
		Haibun - prose interspersed with the beginning (hokku) verses for potential haikai linked verse sequences - was a descendent of the Japanese poetic diary or nikki, a major literary form since the ninth century.
		These earlier, often somewhat fictionalized, literary diaries were interspersed with 27-syllable tanka poems - indeed, in the case of the diary of Izumi Shikibu, the prose part consists largely of descriptions of the occasions for the poems - typically courtship.

	EDSITEment - Lesson Plan
		In contrast, the Japanese art of haibun, developed in Japan in the late 17th century by Matsuo Munefusa (Basho), focuses on objective reporting of the everyday moment and focusing the insights of that moment into a theme developed in a concluding poem.
		As students record their haibun, they should look to separate what is simply observed from what is significant to a general audience, what message can be derived from the observation, and capture the latter element.
		Introduce the concept of the Japanese haibun by distributing Basho's "The Hut of the Phantom Dwelling." Again ask students what seemed to be the purpose of the journal, and what was most important to the author.

	John Tranter site - Notes to poems: Half a Dozen Haibun
		The haibun is a form developed in seventeenth-century Japan, consisting of prose and verse mixed; traditionally a short prose passage is followed by a haiku.
		With the ‘reverse haibun’ (published in the book At The Florida and in the booklet Gasoline Kisses) I inverted and re-engineered the form for my own purposes, settling on a twenty-line stanza of free verse, followed by a paragraph of prose up to half a page long.
		In these haibun I’ve deliberately gone against the grain of much of my earlier writing, where I often try to tie up the concerns of the poem in the last line or two, sometimes returning to an image or idea presented at the start.

		Many authors think haibun are simply haiku with prose wedging them apart.
		It takes a very specific way of seeing to find the material for haibun and then the author must learn a new way of writing the prose so that it is prose and not poetry but poetry that dances just above prose.
		In the same way that haibun gives only the "terminals" from which the reader’s thoughts connect, Nada Ziljak’s artwork functions in a similar manner.

		Traditional haibun have focused on such “mundane” topics as a broom or a gate or a tea cup.
		This does not mean a haibun needs to be short in length; it means what is written is tightly constructed.
		Haiku, especially those that end a haibun, need to relate to previous prose sections yet not be an extension of the prose.

	Haiku and Related Definitions, 2004
		In March 1993, because the knowledge of Japanese haiku and related writings and their practice in English had grown substantially, HSA President Francine Porad formed a Definitions Committee consisting of Naomi Y. Brown, Lee Gurga, William J. Higginson (chair), and Paul O. Williams, with the active participation of President Porad.
		The committee produced a draft that was circulated to the members by mail in December of 1993, but no further action was taken at that time, the Society and committee members being caught up in other business.
		By submitting this report, we request that the foregoing definitions be adopted by the Haiku Society of American, Inc., and be widely disseminated as the official definitions of the Society.

		Riding one of those "serendipitous" swells of the Internet Surf, I landed at Ray Rasmussen's wonderful website, A Haibun Journal.
		Here I have learned a new word, haibun, which denotes a combination of terse prose and haiku poems, usually imagistic and objective, and usually written in the present tense--often with a light touch.
		I do not always reference a season, and while, all of them have the required seventeen syllables, the length of the individual lines vary.

		It is only from far away that the mountains are beautiful; up close the rocks are grey and sharp, the snow not soft but icy.
		I was playing with the idea of the haibun as a poetic form most commonly used to evoke nature and travel (a la Basho, etc.) and the idea that experiences sometimes aren't as manageable as the poems we write about them, or the photographs we take.
