Banks risking money
People can't return their loans,
The crisis occurs...

Are banks important or are they not?
Chances are, they'll soon be replaced by bots
But
If you want to keep your money safe,
A bank is the place, a bank is the place.
Banks are good because you will have a have a place to store your money and if we didn't you would store it in your house and people could steal it.
Don't forget to read the haiku instructions and stick to the limit on the syllables!
Are banks trustworthy ?

or should they retire

Have a go at brainstorming lots of works to do with banks, and then see which words fit into the syllable structure. That could be a good way to start!

Bankers lend and save,
The Bank of England has vaults,
Banks work hard for us.
I chose this because of the main things I think bankers, the Bank of England and bankers in general do. I think they save and lend, keep money safe, and secure the country's financial system.
Fear, Fear, Fear...
The world is upside down
Fear, anxiety and lots of tears
Who made this crush?
Who stole the cash?

They eat our bodies, they kill our future…
Fear, Fear, Fear...

And you have to steal to get a meal,
And money makes a deal.
Banks have money to lend,
They don`t have money to spend,
They do not give any intention,
To those who want the attention.
we all need money,

Hbut we have to pay it back 😇

They give out many loans,
They help everyone.
Banks: lend, loan, save, store
They can make you or break you
Will you take the risk?
I took a few risks
Then a Financial Crisis
Now not a banker
Funds go up and down.
The Bank of loans and savers,
helps cash go your way.
All banks lend money
but could you ever trust them
hopefully you can
When the highest economy falls,
The others go down too - in pain,
That will start a financial crisis - again!
This is the second comment since I did not read the introduction properly.
Strict bank rules can help:
Saves people once in a while,
Or just makes you smile!
I’m a banker
Can you trust a banker
Clearly not
Finacial crisis happens
Bankers are responsible!
They store my money.
In my own saving's account.
They store your money.
In a savings account.
Is it worth the risk?
Let's make a difference
Learn from our naive mistakes
Improve and be bright
Banks help us all out
They lend money to spend
they make sure money is safe
even though they do all that,
Can we trust all banks?
Banks seem ideal,
the theory is good for all,
theories aren't real.
I wrote this poem because, in theory, banks are brilliant, they seem good for all, with mortgages and loans and saving and all that, in theory they seem amazing. But my point is, theory isn't reality, banks make mistakes, often due to the risks they take, the financial crisis being an example of this, and so often banks often aren't good in reality, often they are bad and that often there are lots of hidden disadvantages to banks like interests on loans etc. Basically my poem means, in theory, banks seem brilliant and help everyone but in reality this theory is not true, it is not real, the 'perfect' bank does not exist, there are always risks and disadvantages.
Good explanation!
I agree with the idea that bank aren't perfect because they aren't but is anything actually perfect? Banks have learnt from their mistakes in the financial crisis ; they created something called credit scores which is a piece of data that has your income, the time it took for you to repay your loan if you achieved to repay etc. and also what would we do without banks. After asking yourself these questions I believe your choice will become clear:
-Is it actually humanly possible for a bank to be perfect?
-Why do you think that they aren't good?
-What would we do without banks?
banks had some problems,
they went out of business but
they came back again
I wrote this because people were focusing on the good and not the bad.
People give money,
banking people lost money,
they all lost their jobs
my bank haiku
banks do my head in
they can't be trusted at all
we loose our money
Banks keep money safe
Banks took some very big risks
People lost their jobs
Banks keep money safe
They also give you a loan
Banks are useful things
Banking is vital
Without it nothing happens
But it is tricky
Banks make poverty
Charities stop poverty
money matter yay
I work in a bank.
To loan and lend people cash.
But can they pay back?
Banks are dangerous
they offer us a profit
you could be bankrupt
Banks are important
for protecting your money
to make a profit
Banks are important
Banks give you lots of money
Banks loan you money
My banking haiku
hard, negative, and risky
my baking haiku
Banks can save you money
you can borrow money too
enjoy; be careful
I went to the bank
Asked why my money had gone
It simply was lost!
I wrote this poem because I realised how easy it was for people to lose there money as a result of the financial crisis. In fact, most people lost £3,000 on average. This is a large amount and is a monthly salary for some people. Can you imagine losing all that money when you could feed your family or provide other resources for your kin?
i agree on you poem your true. we should be able to feed are family
The Bankers Take Risks
The People Lose Jobs
The Crisis Will Never Stop
i think your haiku is good
The crisis had struck,
The world concealed in worry,
The bank had shut down.
Meaning:
Banks during the financial crisis encountered terrible hardship. Many working there had quit and not many were willing to work at banks. This is because they were on the verge of shutting down altogether, like many more in the UK. Everyone was taking money out of banks because it is not safe there so the banks lost more and more. When it came in 2007, everyone panicked and government were handing immense amounts to banks, despite the bank being close to shutting down. Many people who were losing money rapidly could not pay bills or for food.
i am a banker
we love taking lots of risk
we made the crisis
Banks keep money safe;
They lend loans... yet made a crisis.
So can we trust banks?
Yes but a little bit no because they might give you money and might not.
banks lent money to you
and they keep it safe for you
it helps save up something important
The bankers keep your money safe you . It helps you get the money that you want so you can buy what every you like but should we trust banks.
Banking can be dangerous
Banks can take your money
But some banks don't
i did a mistake the first line should say the bankers keep your money safe for you

banks give you a loan,
what would we do without banks,

Profits through knowledge:
Hire strong branch managers or
Invest small fortunes?
what do you think sympathetic _ music
taking lots of risks means that people will start to lose their jobs and if people lose their jobs the banks will lose money and we will be homeless and have no money to buy food and water
My bank hiku
bank lend you money,
we put trust and faith in banks,
we need banks in life
Financial crisis
Losing money globally

Two thousand and nine,
The great recession has stopped,
We still think of it.
The financial crisis started at 2008 up until 2009 and lasted 1.25 years.

The bank lost money
So the country was so poor
This is crisis
What do you think sympathetic music?
Money kept in banks
But is it safe in the banks
That is the question
The bank keeps money
It lends you some when needed
And gives useful loans.
I’m a business man,
I take money from the bank,
It changes my world.
I believe it is a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) for anyone who wants to work hard using the bank's resources to become a successful business-person, which helps the society and the whole nation overall.
‘’Positive mental attitude (PMA) is a concept first introduced in 1937 by Napoleon Hill in the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’. The book discusses about the importance of positive thinking as a contributing factor of success.’’
If business-people are optimistic, their businesses can achieve a lot with the help of the bank.
Some banks had suffered,
Due to the big recession,
People were distraught.
Banks are great but,
Will they make the same mistake?,
Will people be hurt again?
