Sorry, Richard - Haibun is the Japanese form of prose and poetry, written
most famously by Basho (Narrow Road to the Deep North). You might find it
interesting to look at that, as well!
Some European mediaeval mystic texts were written in prose and poetry,
though I'd have to look them up to be more specific. It's a form which
attracts me, though I haven't done anything like it. Maybe this year ...
