Create a Haibun
Poetry Contest
Lovers of the haiku form of poetry can take it to the next level by writing a haibun, which includes prose as well as poetry. Haibun poems originate in Japan, and were invented in the 17th century by famous poet Matsuo Basho, who wanted to combine popular Chinese prose elements with Japanese haiku styles for an educational and creative motif. One paragraph of prose and one haiku can build a haibun poem, but additional prose and haiku can be written.
