I might continue on with this one, providing more of the story. Each Haibun will involve a new letter from the general to his beloved as the campaign (purely fictional, of course) progresses. Could be fun. I was thinking about how you could write a whole short story or novella in this way. Sure, it would be painstaking and labor-intensive, but it could be really beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Swiftboat,<BR/><BR/>The Haibun is just haiku poetry interspersed or punctuating a prose passage. It's often used as a travel-log. I decided to frame the prose segment as a letter a general in old Japan might write to his beloved when he's off at war. I'm glad this came out so clearly to you. Just another one of my experiments. As I said to Ken, I might try a series of them if I have the drive to do it.Patrick M.

Reminds me of Ken Burns reading civil war letters. It's quite effective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
