Wk 2: Journal Response Option 9

Write three haiku (3-line poem with 5-7-5 syllables) about the Secret Annex.

It is quiet here.

Read, write, think, dream, hope, pray, rest.

Quiet keeps us safe.

My stomach growls.

Beans, potatoes, New Year’s Cake.

I need more than this.

      

Longing, so longing.

To be playing with Jopie.

Will we meet again?

Ack-ack of airplanes.

The Allies fight the Axis.

Give us our freedom.

Always comparing

Me to perfect Margot Frank.

Let me be myself.
