Will, do you have a consistent method and technique or are you experimenting with various techniques?

  I’m feeling my way through. I know the structure, but I’m reading up on Haiku and Haibun to learn what and how to write. I found couple websites yesterday that lay it out very well along with the history, etc. I’m having fun with it because my writing style seems to find Haibun a perfect fit.

    Other than an occasional short story or poem, I’ve not studied Japanese literature. My wife is Japanese, I love Japanese movies, and I was stationed in Japan. but… 😁

    I’m actually still working on my stream of consciousness. I think I have mastered absurdist and aesthetic writing to a low degree. After I get a professional flow and a personal technique then I’ll move on to more literary forms.

    I really like haibun and will work in it a while. There’s a periodical accepting haibun submissions beginning Jan 15th. I’m going to try my luck.
    Good luck with your writing. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read so far.

  I like the thought that black frogs might like to fall asleep under a gentle rain’s lullaby 😊
