Unbroken, we love poetic prose and the prose poem. Because a haibun is a
prose poem with a haiku at the end, we also love the haibun.

My poem, Retirement
Retirement
When I retired,
I resisted rejoicing in more
than one dog.
Today, at dawn,
two dogs
call me to task;
call me to my lessons.
I wipe out their bowls
pouring a measure of food
under their direction.
Listening to them
crunch the hard bits
is delicious.
After eating
they move to the water bucket.
The sound as they lap the water;
seeing it drip from their muzzles
makes me smile,
lean in
to hear more closely.
If they had feathers they wouldn’t be more magical.

I would like to recommend Kim Addonizio's book...
Ordinary Genius. It is available at: http://goo.gl/4GawIh Addonizio is a poet, writer and teacher. She writes clearly and has a lot to say about writing of all kinds, but I bought it to read about what she has to say about poetry. Here is her Poetry Foundation page: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/kim-addonizio Here is one of her poems that led me to find her and her book:
