The right shape." These words of Theresa's were a bulls'-eye for me as well. <br /><br />Theresa, your word "effectively" for linking haiku and prose or poetic prose, or even prose poetry is the key to it all. Like a dance, a clinamen swerve of molecules . . . . Also, thanks for sharing those online haibun sources — Contemporary Haibun Online will be featuring one of my haibun next month.

If your readers wish to see some good haibun they can go to the online magazines, Haibun Today and Contemporary Haibun Online. The editors there are literally keeping English haibun alive and they are doing good work. I've been working in haibun for a just a little over a year. Writing it is exciting and challenging. I came to it as a result of reading Basho's "Journey to the Interior," trans. Sam Hamill. I'd been struggling to write about a boat journey my husband and I too, trying to make a novel out of it. Once I tried the haibun, I found haibun to be the perfect way of recording my reflections about the trip and about life. It's really funny how that works, how one needs to find the right container for their thoughts. The right shape. From the haibun, I've moved on to prose poems, but I still write haibun and find them more challenging, since the haiku and prose sections must be effectively linked. The whole experience of writing haibun has taught me a lot. Very nice work, Donna.Theresa Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103717736011804799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-80775418941602500402011-06-03T15:23:17.876-04:002011-06-03T15:23:17.876-04:00Donna, a real pleasure to share your wisdom with o...Donna, a real pleasure to share your wisdom with others.<br /><br />Terri, exactly the point of this post!<br /><br />When I do readings I'm often struck by how I've developed stories to introduce these tiny ten syllable poems.
