Good Migrations haiku

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Border territ’ry
neighbours far from breaking bad
heads further south

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Super Eagles pass
high up above the ‘happy
to be here’ sea.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 In Eastern Europe
a City boy boards a plane-
history again

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 No summer respite.
Fernando, your mountainside
will have to wait

Notes

A haiku for countries who simply won’t make up the numbers.

Fernando Santos has said ‘We are not going there on holiday’ and ‘We’ll bleed to succeed.’
