New to haibun? The form consists of one to a few paragraphs of prose—usually written in the present tense—that evoke an experience and are often non-fictional/autobiographical. They may be preceded or followed by one or more haiku—nature-based, using a seasonal image—that complement without directly repeating what the prose stated.

Today I’m repotting my tomato plant because of changes in weather with high winds and hard rain. No matter what I do the plant is tall in a pot and tips easily. Today I planted it in a heavy pot and placed it near a metal standing decoration for more support.

I love that you focused on your tomato plant, Cheryl, keeping it simple and real. My tomato plant was blown over too; luckily only one fruit was damaged.

I haven’t seen a fruit yet but some little things I think maybe they might turn into something. Next year I may try bigger plants for cherry ones because our growing season is so short

I was having that trouble with my Black-Eyed Susans. I had them in a pot on my porch and they kept falling over. Hope your tomatoes turn out beautifully!
