Nothing is more glorious than watching the countryside change her seasonal attire. From the lush green rolling hills and sweeping sunny meadows, to the beautiful vibrant autumnal golds. As leaves swirl to the ground the chill of winter sets in and she changes again. The land may experience the dull dusty grey of a stormy day, and then suddenly change into the sparkling winter frosts reminiscent of a bridal gown spread across the landscape. As the sands of time trickle on, the delicate snowdrop brings hope of warmer climes. The countryside begins to slowly fill with new flora and fauna such as lively spring lambs, until she is dressed once again in her opulent summer finery.
Frolicking sheep bounce
through green pastures playing games
happy full of joy.

I thought I was fairly acquainted with all forms of English writing styles and formats...not so. I have never heard of a "Haibun". I think you must be the literary equivalent of Einstein. I have a fairly good brain (most of us Autistic Spectrum folks do) but this was so far over my head it was like figuring out the real meaning of E=MC2.
I re-read it four times before I even got the slimmest thread of connection (lambs and Spring coming in like a lamb) and even then tenuous was the best connection I could form.
This is "highbrow" stuff. Like reading Khant to someone who stumbled over "Cat in the Hat." LOL
But it was unique to me.
Smiles, Kevin
