Haikus from years five and six at St. Jude’s School
(a Haiku is the shortest form of Japanese poetry)
Haiku
Icy, cold,
Village asleep in darkness,
A starlit sky.
Empty, lonely lane.
Velvet black sky, on an icy night.
Frost on roads.
Haiku
Dark shimmers on a winter’s night,
Silence in the town.
Rooftops covered in icicles,
Pattern of jagged stars.
Black sky
Yellow moon and yellow stars
Haiku
Football, Football,
Flying towards the net,
Am I going to score a goal?
Because I haven’t yet.
Football, Football,
Passing one, two, three,
Ouch! I’ve just been fouled,
It’s a free kick, referee.
Football, Football,
Hooray we’re one goal up,
If we can score another goal,
We might just win the cup.
Football, Football,
The crowds they cheer us on,
The referee’s whistle blows,
Nice one girls, we’ve won.
