PEACOCK Haiku Club - The Peacocks !

Wow! We are so delighted to be new members in the club. We call ourselves the Peacocks from St. Mathew Secondary school here in Nairobi. We thank all of you especially Patrick Sensei, Madam Isabelle and Madam Gabi for your warm welcome to the kenyasaijiki.

It is now raining all over Kenya after a long dry spell. We are very sorry that we missed out on the first collection on the longest dry season in Kenya but we thank God we have started writing just when the long rains are here.




Here are our introductory haiku about the Long Rain.


green parks
puddles all over Nairobi
maasai cattle are back


grüne Parks
Pfützen ueberall in Nairobi
Maasai Rinder sind wieder da

Anna Nechesa


flowers bloom
green grass all over
a kid chases butterflies


Blumen blühen
grünes Grass überall
ein Kind verfolgt Schmetterlinge

Mercy Osale

We look foward to sharing the fun and adventure of haiku with all of you.
Thanks a lot all of you.

Sincerely yours,
The Peacocks.

  1. SHORT RAIN HAIKU
    from Caleb Mutua

    MUD

    dirty they look
    kids slide and play
    in mud

    around puddles
    students cleaning muddy shoes
    going to school

    BULLFROGS

    kill! kill!
    children screaming as they
    see bullfrogs

    naughty kid
    scaring his friends with
    a bullfrog

    GREEN PLANTS

    in the field
    women pluck green plants for
    preparing stew

    market is full
    coloured in red and green
    tomatoes and kales

    UMBRELLA

    the street
    dominated and coloured by
    numerous umbrellas

    drizzling starts
    many hurry up to open
    their umbrella

    RAIN CLOUDS

    clouds are seen
    sellers return goods indoors
    to avoid rain

    clouds are up
    very eager to weep rain
    I must rush home

    --

    Hope you reached home safe and dry, Caleb san! Thank you for sending us these Short Rains Haiku.

    Isabelle.
