While Digging goes from the present to the past, the haiku captures a specific moment.
<h3>What is the focus of Digging?</h3>
This is about family history and the way this affects the author as he compares his job as a writer to the job as a farmer his father used to have. In the fragment presented, the author is both describing the past and present in Where he was digging, because he goes from the action he is doing, which is writing to the one his father was doing many years ago, which is digging.
<h3>What is the focus of the Haiku?</h3>
This haiku or short poem focuses on describing a landscape by mentioning elements such as the moonflowers. This means there is not a change in time but the author focuses only on capturing a specific moment.
Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing excerpt:
"Digging"
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging.
Haiku by Bashō.
On the way to the outhouse—
the white of the moonflower
by torchlight.
