Matariki Poem


Matariki
Matariki the Māori New Year
Where whanau and tamariki gather midyear

Seven shining stars up in the freezing cold dark blue sky
Only being able to see whitu, with the naked eye

The loud rumbling of our hiakai stomachs
As we smell the delicious earthy smell of our reka kai cooking


In this special occasion
We hear the soft waiata of our Kapa Haka rōpū
      this is a moment to remember those who sadly passed

Matariki is here!
