Some of our Russley Writers have been hard at work writing poems for some lockdown poetry competitions.
This challenge was a 'given word' poem. The writers were given five specific words which they had to incorporate into their poem for National Poetry Day. Poems could be written in English, te reo Māori, or a mixture of the two, as long as the five words are included in either language.
Here are the words:
pō / dusk
hau / breath
tūpuna / ancestors
hiki / raise
karoro / black-backed gull
The words were taken from a short film Noho Mai (Sit here) - see link below - which was made during lockdown last year. You can turn English subtitles on (if you need them) by clicking on CC.
