Matariki is maori new year
Ancestors float above us in Ranginui
Tawhirimatea throws thunder down onto the earth
A great time to celebrate
Remember tupuna gliding in the sky
Intimidated by the glowing stars hovering in the night sky
Kites flying high by fluffy clouds
I get up early to see the stars rise
By Blake
This is my Matariki poem. This type poem is called an acrostic. The way you can make one by having your topic written down the side and the first letter is the letter that starts the sentence.
