LONG RAIN and other HAIKU
April 2006


Green grass shines all over
How wonderful you are rain
The land is beautiful

Omwimwa James Form 2C


Rain you are wonderful
The world is green and beautiful
We all admire you

Agness Adhiambo Form 2


Dark clouds gather
Tropical torrents fall
More water

Beth Mwangi 2A


Vehicles move slowly
Dark sky pours cold water on roads
It is traffic jam

Joab Otieno 1A


Umbrella my dear friend
Cover me from the evening showers
I will not leave you

Joab Otieno 1A


Plenty of water now
Farmers work in their fields
It is green everywhere

Joab Otieno 1A


Seven colours in the sky
In a semi circle below the clouds
Showers in evening sun

Anne Nechesa (Patron)


Homeless they have been left
As water sweeps the houses rapidly
Stranded people

Jedida Kerubo


Tropical torrents
Manyattas are washed away
Maasai are homeless

Khadijah Rajab 1A


No school
Floods all over the land
Budalangi is stranded

Budalangi
A district in Western Kenya that is prone to annual flodds

PEARS

Sweet juicy fruit
Kids eat in the tropical sun
Children are nourished

Peris Wanjiku 2C


A cold juicy fruit
How sweet you are
In market stalls

Agness Adhiambo 2C


Brown fruits on tress
In the gardens of Kiambu
The pears are back

Kiambu
A place in Central Kenya where pears grow.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


WIND

Trees sway
Brown yellow leaves fall
Leaving trees bare

It blows fast
Rubbish is scattered all over
Dirt is all over

It is helter skelter
In cities and towns
All run for shelter

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


LIGHTNING

A cracked heaven
Rumbling and trembling earth
Bad news

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


EASTER

All over the streets
Green palm leaves in each hand
Preaching the Prince of Peace

Zaccheuas Ogonji 2A


Both children and adults
Carry green palm leaves in the streets
Singing and dancing

Omwimwa James 2C

Christians walk all over
With palm leaves in their hands
Oh! Peaceful day

Peris Wanjiku 2C


In all churches
Palm leaves wave in the air
To mark Palm Sunday

Kerubo Jedidah 2A


Christians sing hymns
Waving green palm leaves
What a wonderful day

Beth Mwangi 2A


Ding dong the bell rings
Christians worship in Chapels
Their Christ is a live.

Nechesa Anne Patron


In the church
Believers worship in loud voices
They are very happy

Zaccheuas Ogonji


Come one come all
Let us celebrate Easter
Caring forgiving each other.

DROUGHT

The bright sun shines
From morning to evening
It is very hot

Omwimwa James 2C


The land dries and cracks
The sun heats from East to West
The air is very hot

Peris Wanjiru. 2C


My white umbrella
Protects me from the hot sun
I am not scorched

Peris Wanjiru 2C

Mini-Ginko on May 6, 2006

The event was attended by three groups: the Bamboochas of Bahati Community Centre Secondary School, the Oaks of Embakasi High School and the Peacocks (the hosts). The attendance was over 40 and it was great fun as the kids took the haiku walk which lasted only 45 min and wrote haiku together. This is my haiku of the event:

eager faces
sweet voices
haiku refreshes

Here are some of the introduction haiku given by some of the fans during introduction:

in black and light-blue
enter the bamboochas
ready for the ginkoo

the first meeting
for the peacocks
a day to remember

so flamboyant-
balloons and ribbons sway
peacocks hoyee

the bamboochas
wamewasili
kurifresh the peacocks

More than 50 wonderful haiku were harvested.

Patrick Wafula
