Home haiku
I thought you might enjoy reading the haiku poems my daughter wrote yesterday as part of her English homework. I love how they express so many emotions in so few words.
Here we are at home
Forty-seven days and more
Wishing we were out
Stuck at home all day
Isolated, alone, sad
Apocalyptic
Overwhelmed with work
Constantly behind and bored
Wishing this was done
Missing friendly laughs
Contacting only through screens
Wishing you were here
People needing masks
Some dying alone, afraid
Waiting for the end
Going for a walk
Lovely sounds all around me
Fresh airs renews me
PJs all we wear
Goodbye summer holidays
Missing family
These haiku are excellent! Well done to your daughter.
Thank you!
Brilliant Haiku. Please tell your daughter well done from me. She has obviously inherited her mother’s talents.
Thank you! She’ll be pleased to hear this.
