The Brothers Lionheart Haiku

This is our story
It's called Brothers Lionheart
By Astrid Lindgren

We have written it
In a very special way
It is called Haiku

Haikus have three lines
Five syllables then seven
The last line is five

They come from Japan
They make pictures in your mind
There's one for each line


This is our story
About two little brothers
They lived in Sweden

Rusky was a boy
His brother was Jonathan
But Rusky was sad

Rusky was quite ill

He was going to die soon
Jonathan was sad
