effigy
effigy • \EFF-uh-jee\ • noun
: an image or representation especially of a person; especially : a crude figure representing a hated person.
Example Sentence:
A giant effigy is set ablaze at the climax of the annual Burning Man festival in Black Rock Desert, Nevada.
Did you know?
An earlier sense of “effigy” is “a likeness of a person shaped out of stone or other materials,” so it’s not surprising to learn that “effigy” derives from the Latin verb “fingere,” which means “to shape.” “Fingere” is the common ancestor of a number of other English nouns that name things you can shape. A “fiction” is a story you shape with your imagination. “Figments” are shaped by the imagination, too; they’re something you imagine or make up. A “figure” can be a numeral, a shape, or a picture that you shape as you draw or write. -

Haibun: A Definition
Haibun is a combination of prose and haiku poetry. Modern English Haibun is evolving just as is modern English haiku. So, the following characteristics portray general patterns rather than hard and fast rules.
The original Japanese haibun style created by the Japanese poet-monk known as Basho tended to focus on his wanderings through Japan. Contemporary haibun tends to focus more on everyday experiences—the journey of the human being living mostly in urban settings as well as ventures into natural settings. Contemporary writers do also continue to write of travel experiences.
Some have described haibun as a narrative of an epiphany, but many haibun are simply narratives of special moments in a person's life.
Haibun prose is largely descriptive utilizing terse, poetic prose and abbreviated syntax to convey a stream of sensory impressions. For the most part, the style avoids philosophical comment. It is involved more with 'showing' rather than 'telling'. Most often [but not necessarily] it is written in the present tense—as if the experience is unfolding now rather than yesterday or some time ago. Some writers do create fantasy and dream sequences.
The one or more haiku that accompany haibun prose are of two types. The first summarizes the feel of the prose, but without repeating words or phrases or images already contained in the prose. The haiku may be a juxtaposition—seemingly different yet connected. The second is a haiku that moves beyond the prose passage taking the reader yet one step further in the narrative.
You'll find examples of haibun by many different writers on this examples of haibun web site.
Online journals that publish contemporary haibu are:
* Contemporary Haibun Online is devoted entirely to the haibun genre.
* Modern Haiku usually contains one or two examples of haibun per online issue.
* Simply Haiku has a haibun section.
* The World Haiku Review has a haibun section.
* Roadrunner Haiku Journal has a haibun section
* Lynx has a haibun section

I lived from 868-964. I was from Japan, and am in the Asian category.
Ki no Tsurayuki was a poet as well as a prose writer, well versed in Chinese. He was the chief compiler of the first Anthology of Japanese poetry Kokinshu (905), and the writer of its preface. The Kokinshu cosisted of approximately 1,111 poems. Tsurayuki also served as govenor of Tosa Province.
In the Tosa Diary, Tsurayuki, under the pretence of writing as a woman, described a voyage on a boat. With this diary he was able to lay the groundwork for the triumph of women's literature later in the Heian period. He helped to shape the style and imagery of all waka poetry that followed him.
In the preface of Kokinshu, Tsurayuki wrote: "It is poetry that effortlessly moves the heavens and the earth, awakens the world of invisible spirits to deep feel, softens the relationship between men and women, and consoles the hearts of fierce warriors."
