Poetic Mihi

Ko wai e tū ake nei?

Who is it who stands before you?

Ka rere taku Kotoku ki te maunga tapu o Aoraki  

My bird flies to the sacred mountain of Mount Cook

Haere whakaroro taku Kotoku ki te awa o Mawhera Nui

My Kotoku then continues down to the river of Greymouth

Ki runga it tērā awa e rewa ana te waka o Endeavor

On that river is floating the waka of Endeavor

Ka waiata atu taku Kotoku ki te ingoa whanau o Harris

My Kotoku sings to the family of Harris

Ko Aleece e  tū ake nei

Ko Ngati Pakeha toku iwi

Ko Lexine toku whaea

Ko Phil toku matua

Ko Caitlin toku tuakana

Tena koutou tena koutou tena tatou katoa

Instead of using the template provided I decided to include my poetic mihi that I learnt at school.

I'm unsure of how I'd feel about living in a big family because:

I'd like to because it would be lots of fun and you'd have heaps of people to hang out with.

I wouldn't like to because it would be loud and hard to find some peace and quiet.

Dear Greanne

I have just reached shore after the treacherous six month journey in the leaky overcrowded waka. I must say it was definitely worth it this country is beautiful. However at first I was rather nervous as I had no idea what it would be like.

The journey was extremely dangerous and sadly not all of my tribe survived. The trip took far longer than expected so we were low on supplies. Also we were visited many times by unwanted guests. Taniwha. They stole what we needed most; fresh water, food, blankets and much more.

I am extremely grateful that I managed to survive the journey though it wasn’t without difficulty. I was injured in the first Taniwha attack which dampened my hopes of survival. However I survived and I am looking forward to seeing you.
