Festival Haiku - San Fermin Festival Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Festival Haiku - San Fermin Festival



San Fermin Festival
our steps louder
than the bulls

San Fermin Festival
men - the ones more difficult
to control

San Fermin Festival
lounder than the bulls -
us

San Fermin Festival - the police
scolds the errant runner
'Dont behave like a Bull.'

San Fermin Festival
feeling myself lesser
than a bull

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The fiestas of San Fermin are celebrated in Irunea/Pamplona, in the region of Navarra, every year from the 6th to the 14th of July. They have become internationally known because of the running of the bulls, where the bulls are lead through the streets of the old quarter as far as the bull ring by runners.
