One that anyone can write

Simple and easy

Passing



3. Our Country (Free Verse)

Our country, New Zealand

Ah! What a wonderful place to be

The sheep, the cattle, all this green,

The bright blue sky, connecting building to building

From Maori to English, Students to Teachers,

January to December, All year 'round.

Ah! What a wonderful place to be

Our country, New Zealand



4. Rap in Wrap (Couplet)

If what you want is wrap,

I'll put you in a wrap!



5. Consistency (Haiku)

Everyday morning

My alarm clock rings with might

With consistency



6. Ode to Silver (Ode)

You are the purifying element,

The one who purges evil.

To be in your righteous presence in an honour

Unparalleled in might, exalted in glory,

You shine brightness among the world.

A gem hidden below Gold, but brighter than Bronze,

You are the true mystery that contains

The reflection of the moonlight



7. Hope (Quatrain)

I hovered above the clouds,

Searching for the light.

All I saw were darkened shrouds,

In this day of endless blight.



8. The Meaning (Haiku)

Why am I alive?

To the most wondered question,

There is no answer.



Thanks for reading!
