Haibun, a combination of prose and haiku, is my favourite
of the contemporary haiku-genre forms. I enjoy writing about everyday experiences and reading the everyday accounts written by other writers. In short, haibun is personal writing, where the writer's self is embedded in the prose and haiku.
A full definition of haibun can be found in the journal Contemporary Haibun Online. If you are interested
in the range of expression in contemporary English-language haibun, visit
the "Haibun
by Other Writers" link. As well, Contemporary
Haibun Online, Haibun Today, Lynx, Modern
Haiku, Simply
Haiku and Frogpond feature haibun writing.
