sechan19The class composed five-line poems today in preparation for a school-wide competition taking place next week. My two poems (on the subjects of sukina mono "things I like" and nihongo "Japanese," respectively) are as follows.
Taiyo no shita de asobu
tori no nakigoe o kikinagara
tsumetai mizu ni hai'te oyogu
kireina hana mo aru
kawa e ikou
Frolicking under the sun.
While the listening to the birdsong
swim in the cold water.
And also the beautiful flowers -
let's go to the river.
Itsumo
nihongo o benkyou shite iru ga
mada
doraemon o
shiranai
Always
I am studying Japanese.
And yet
still I do not know
Doraemon!
The doraemon poem, coming on the heels of the to do about my not knowing doraemon, was a real hit with everyone. Ujige-sensei complimented me on my poetic sensibilities and strongly encouraged me to enter the contest, which was a nice ego boost.
