Poets

This term we had a whole school perhaps recital but this time we are going to have a poem recital. I memorized a poem that I originally wrote based on the moari legend of how the land and sky came to be apart with little twists. Please read and enjoy.

Land and Sky

Irresistible, attached like gum and a piece of shoe

One man is green, one woman is blue

What a creation they had formed

But soon the children raged and stormed

United as will but anguish building inside

So they planned a vicious plan to separate the groom and bride

Close, irritating like a dirty old rash

Feelings were built up and feelings were outlasted

Close indeed, which they couldn’t stand

With just one touch at the tip of hand

Separated, torn like a tip of thorns

Adrenaline building on the devil with sharp horns

But soon as planned they were separated at last

And feelings of being so close disappeared so fast

Anger, doubt and grief reappeared

Soon the children’s eyes filled up with fear

As women made it storm, as man made it filthy

They became sick and no longer wilthy

No more complaints as they learned to get along

Living up close was never really wrong….
