Haibun
A haibun is a prosimetric Japanese literary format that is a combination of prose and poetry. Matsuo Basho, a 17th-century Japanese poet, was the first to use the term haibun. The haibun generally has a couple of paragraphs of prose writing with poetic imagery, then a Haiku at the end to either intensify or juxtapose the message of the prose. The prose is descriptive and commonly expands on a single moment, memory, or idea. The haibun covers a broad range of genres, such as prose poems, short stories, diaries, autobiographies, travel journals, and essays.
