Matariki Poems
Matariki is the Maori new year
When the seven stars will appear
We can predict what the coming year will be like
From how clearly we can see them with our naked eyes
The legend behind it fascinates us.
Matariki is celebrated in many different ways
Adults are busy preparing the hangi
Kids are having fun flying their kites
Stories are shared by elders
These are few of many activities we do to celebrate Matariki.

Shining in the night
People watching all over
A beautiful sight

Limerick
The stars they shine in the night
They blind us with their lights
Then they disappear
But have no fear
They will come back into sight

delicate little lights
Bright as the sun
A cluster of shooting stars
Speckled across the sky
Shimmering and glittering
Seven sisters
