It's always good to know poetic forms and the history behind them. Writers often exercise some flexibility in taking a form and making it their own. I like the idea of "tanka tales".lynn__https://www.blogger.com/profile/03991892804149727665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512327745848627452.post-53827183121452456042016-01-12T18:31:22.758+01:002016-01-12T18:31:22.758+01:00Thank you so much Jane and Kristjaan!

Kikôbun are (travel) journal entries, and traditionally have focused on nature, though Basho gave them a new style when he approached his journal entries. I personally like Kikôbun more because the theme is quite specific, though the style is the same as that of haibun. I agree with everything said, and find haibun an exciting way of writing - and a good haibun is a pleasure. To make a haibun very readable it sometimes is nice if it has an epiphany in it or some irony, not just appreciation, and I personally do not like a haiku to merely mirror or summarise the text. I have seen some discussion about the haiku in a haibun, and agree that some haiku can only survive within their haibun, so they are therefore slightly different than a haiku alone. I think one haiku per haibun prose is also enough. Now for the (mild) controversy. I do think "Narrow Road to the Deep North is actually a series of Kikôbun entries myself......!hamishhttp://haiku-forest.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
