Haiku Session – Te Kura o Te Paetūmokai
Jonah
Totara growing
Climbing leaves, blowing rustling
In the gusty wind
Ruamāhanga
Shimmering in the bright sun
Rippling and riffling
Aniwa
Soft, wet, muddy, ground
Strong and luscious matai
Helping trees to grow
Hunter
Matai towering
Bark hammered like a sailing boat
Waves crashing on the sides
Summer welcomes me
Winter daggers in my trunk
Autumn leaves falling
Myra Lee
The dark blue cold sea
The waves splashing down the stream
The moon shines so bright
The dark blue cold sky
Matariki shines so bright
A gust of wind glides
Decian M
Stretching wetland mud
Beautiful stream flows cold
Roots grow in the wetlands
Fletcher
The cold wind blowing
On the trees , birds soft whistling
I felt wonderful
At night, sleep, dreaming
Muddy magical wetland
Kahikatea
Jayden
Beautiful sunshine
Shining sunlight bright in trees
Mud glimmers so bright
Thomas
I liked planting trees
On the wetland, mud digging
See my work Aratoi
Jharal
The squishy brown mud
The moon shines bright, owls sleeping
Birds singing at light
Amazing sunshine
Sparkling mysteriously
The Kahikatea
Khalyous
Tall trees rustling
The earth breathing around us
Trees surrounding us
Long rivers swaying
Flooding everything in sight
Creating new paths
The wind breezing past
Softly pushes the matai
Everything is cold
The seed gets planted
The soft dirt suffocating
My sprout will soon rise
