WALT write for an audience. One challenge that I have when writing poetry is using interesting vocabulary and using te reo māori and things like personification.
Tramping
Weighty Pack
Choppy rivers and creeks
Stones feel like concrete
Towering totara
Dwarfing many others
Delicious kai
Playing games to pass te taima
Tired aching legs
Awaiting a rest
Pahoka is in sight
Night, nearly here
Snaking my way into my sleeping bag
Listening to miserable clouds
Tangi on the steel roof
- Emma
Tangi- crying
Pahoka- Hut
Taima- Time
Totara- Type of tree
Kai- Food
