Biloxi, these do not yet make sense since I at least can not access your 
blog.
Poetry should need no explanation if it is as simple and clear as you 
suggest. However if the prose allows some context into which the poem fits 
then certtainly if both the prose and poetry are of merit they should 
complement each other. The japanese haibun allows this mixture in its form 
with the provision that the haiku element does not explain the rest but is a 
'jewelled' discovery in the process of writing the prose element of the 
form.
So how do we get to the blog??????
