Answer: "The haiku captures a single moment, while the Romantic poem weaves a tale using images."
Explanation: Buson’s haiku compresses a single, focused moment or image (often with a seasonal word), while Keats’s "To Autumn" (not William Blake) is an extended Romantic ode that develops a sequence of richly sensory images and scenes across stanzas. The other options misstate features of haiku (they don’t rely on rhyme or usually tell stories) or of Keats’s poem (it emphasizes seasonal imagery rather than the speaker’s life).
