      It wasn’t the best way to start a conversation. He muttered the first words that came to mind. They sounded like gibberish. His sister didn’t even notice. She was texting on her phone. “Did you say something?” she asked without looking at him. He didn’t answer. He had no answer. God knows what he was thinking when he came here. He left the room.

      “When I’m in a bookshop browsing prose books, I sometimes flip through the pages to see if the writer has included a poem here and there. If I find one, I always read it first. Poetry has always been my first love, so if the prose books don’t have any poems, I feel a bit disappointed. Haibun is the perfect literary form for me. Ever since I read some examples from Basho, I’ve been hooked. However, it took me quite some time to write my first haibun. This year, I’ve been writing more haibun than ever, and I’m loving it. I’m excited to see where the form takes me.”
