Haikus for Christmas 5A (23.12.2005)

aus LES, der Lehrer-Eltern-Schüler-Datenbank des Real- und Aufbaugymnasiums Hollabrunn

On December 23, 2005, class 5A wrote Haikus for Christmas together with our English teaching assistant Katie Huss and her family (her father is a headmaster at an American High school) and their English teacher Mag. Agnes Formanek. A haiku is a Japanese form of a poem with just three lines. Line one has five syllables, line two has seven syllables and line three has five again. A haiku should express one idea, in our case Christmas.

Here are the Haikus for Christmas:
