Haiku

1. Stop
   your snivelling
   creek-bed:
   
   
   come rain hail
   and flood-water
   
   
   laugh again
2. How is it an example of non-traditional haiku? It is not the correct amount of syllables
3. What is it describing? A dried up creek that is yearning for rain.
4. What is ‘Haiku’ by Hone Tuwhare about? How the creek is dried up and wants to have rain, hail and flood water to save it so it can laugh and be happy again.
5. Do you get a picture in your head when reading the poem? If yes, describe the picture. The picture i get in my head is a large dried up river in a desert and rain and floods rushing in then greenery growing and growing happily.  
6. Why do you think he describes the creek bed as ‘snivelling’? It is sad and the creek wants water to be happy.

The pine trees upon hills,

Gum trees that have history.
