Haibun
A Haibun is first prose, (it can be 100-200 words)
Followed by a Haiku
The prose should have many of the characteristics associated with haiku--present tense---imagistic, shortened or interesting syntax, joining words such as 'and' limited, a sense of 'being there', descriptions of places, people met and above all 'brevity'.
The haiku ... should link to the prose but is NOT a direct carry on from the prose telling some of what has already been said - NO - it should lead us on - let our mind want for more!
