Present-day forest biomes, biological communities that are dominated by trees and other woody vegetation (Spurr and Barnes 1980), can be classified according to numerous characteristics, with seasonality being the most widely used. Distinct forest types also occur within each of these broad groups.
The haibun is the combination of two poems: a prose poem and haiku. The form was popularized by the 17th century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho.
JB: Haibun is a Japanese word meaning 'poetry prose'. And, I don't mean poetic prose as we know it in the west. It has developed from a diary form of writing which Matsuo Basho kept as he went on pilgrimage in Japan.His most famous one is known as ' The Narrow Road To The Far North '.B: I think the main difference we see today, is that the haibun is a modern piece of creative writing. It is not an essay, it is not a short story, and it should not be a technical article. Because of its origins I see haibun developing into a personal journey through some experience, whether it be suffering or joy.
