Bahati Haiku Poetry Club
Second Meeting January 2006

Theme: A NEW SCHOOL YEAR


New faces emerge
Looking very confused
New books in hand
Annastacia Muthoni (Form 4)


Early morning
Roads full of uniformed students
Marching to school
Annastacia Muthoni


Parents arrive
Holding their children’s hands
Heavy bags and trunks
Patrick Wafula


Savani’s Bookshop
Flocks with parents and students
Selecting new textbooks
Patrick Wafula


Sweet smelling bags
Bulge with textbooks
The school gate opens
Catherine Njeri


Students on assembly
Last year’s fees arrears
Announces the principal
Catherine Njeri


Bright faces all over
Stationery in their bags
Back to school
Cyprian Awino


A bright morning
All students and pupils
Clad in uniform
Cyprian Awino


Smiling faces
Pens and books on lockers
Best ones promoted
Cyprian Awino


Attention in class
All minds flash for answers
Woe to the lazy
Cyprian Awino


Ngling’ ngling’ ngling the bell goes
Legs run to the assembly
All are welcomed back
Cyprian Awino

ngling: the sound of the bell


The dusty soil
Throats go dry
Nguna are sweeter
Cyprian Awino

New Word for the Saijiki
