[stylist] structure of tanka and haibun

[Ashley Bramlett]

Lori,
Thanks. Sounds right. I'll look online and at the archives for the list to 
see what was said earlier.
I assume haiku and haibun are  japanese words. I wonder what they translate 
to.

The Haibun consists of a haiku and a prose section addressing the same 
issue.  Or that's what I recall from past discussions on this list.  I took 
the discussions to a class I teach, and the class members all wrote their 
own haibuns.  The form was well received.

Hi all,

Well, Myrna shared with us some neat poetry stemming from a tanka structure.
I did not study poetry much. I’ve never written many. I recall learning to 
write
a haiku in elementary school. From this list I learn that tankas 
exist—another
Japanese poem form.

Myrna you said,
I'm not sure if haibun is considered a Japenese form or just an extension
of one... tanka and haiku of course both are.... You will find different
instructions on haibun as some will lean more to the modern haiku.

In my research I found that
a haibun is Japanese. It is a haiku with more lines. One site that had them 
was
this
http://haibuntoday.haikuhut.com/ht44/Article_Woodward_Form.html


So if anyone wants to explain how to write a tanka and haibun, I’d like to 
hear
it. I’ll also look it up.  My college english was more papers like argument
papers, information based papers, and reading analysis. We did not get into
poetry much. But I’m certainly curious. I might write some poems more. I 
like
acrostics.
