Haibuns I Have noticed do not need to rhyme. They have their own unique way of being a poem. I also have noticed Haibuns are in kind of like a paragraph format.It has a haiku format in it. The way Stephen Leslie writes haibuns really speaks to me because they are all meaningful poems. They have their own little story I feel behind them. "there was not much support or understanding of the struggle to maintain grades." This I relate too because I get where he means nobody understands how much hard work now a days to maintain grades. I feel the poems have a rhythm to them. They aren't bland they have a beat I can hear. Like this "Called to the hospital, no family present, I was alone with the dying patient" I can hear the beats in between every line.Haibuns are very unique I feel and I have never heard of one before.
My Own Haibun:
A father but not only a father but a grandfather. Someone I met when I was younger. Personally me and my sisters barely new him, only because a grandmother divorced remarried. barely had time for two grandpas but new one so well. Summers come and go but this summer had a change and a mind of its own. Last 2 weeks of a summers night a grandpa moved in because he had to fight. Fighting to live because of a cancer so strong I grew love for him and wanted to help him throught it all.
The months went by to fast till that friday during a cold rainy lunch. My phone buzzed a heartbroken tears rolling down a young girls face. He had passed away but he left with a memory a couple of months no one could ever forget.
