Peace
Take a look around
What is this world turning to?
Make a difference
Our voice will be heard
We can roar like a lion
Resilience, just try
Spring birth of nature
Plants grow like our love for earth
Peace spread like butter
Stop and stare around
Silence listen, serene breeze
Tepid air surrounds
Restful call, the sea
Tangaroa soothes live souls
Crawls for harmony
Te Rangimarie
Tirohia te titiro
He aha te huri o tenei ao?
Hanga he rereke
Ka rangona to reo
Ka taea e tatou te hamama rite te raiona
Te tautuhi, te tamata
Te whanau whanau o te taiao
Ka tipu nga tipu hei aroha mo te whenua
Ka horahia te rongo kia rite ki te pata
Kati me te tirotiro
Whakarongo, whakarongo mai, he wera reka
Ka karapoti te hau o te taiao
Ko te karanga, ko te moana
Ko Tangaroa te wairua e ora ana
Nga pupuhi mo te pai
Tirohia te titiro

Hi Greanne,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Reitu and I am a year 7 at Paihia in Te Ngahere. I like your poem. I like how you put the maori translation on it too. I like how you wrote a poem about peace in English too.
Why did you make a poem?
Who told you to write a poem?
Thanks and keep on blog posting,
Reitu
Kia ora Reitu,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for taking the time to comment on my blog. All students in my class had to write a haiku (type of poem) for peace week that included te reo māori. My teacher set this task for the class.
Thanks for commenting
Kind Regards
Greanne
