‘Spiritual song of the West Coast’

I am a tohihi of the Forestland people

Part of this land, like the evergreen trees

I am the river, showing my rage

Screaming at the land on my way to sea

My spirit is the water-spouts

Vortexes, that wreak havoc on the land

I’m the rain, the lightning and the falling ice

As wet as my tears that flow from my eyes

I am Dolphin, seal and penguin that plays

Through the currents of the ocean crashing against the cliff

I wake to the cries of the land, screaming in pain

There was Pukeko, Kea, Fantail

No other child of the same mind

I am this land

And this land is me

I am West Coast.

I choose this poem because I felt it was the best one I have written for our poetry unit.

Mr Vic Tamiti

Today Vic Tamiti visited Greymouth High School. He talked to us about family violence and how it effects some people, when I first walked in there i thought that this would be long but after a little bit i thought it can show others the perspective of somebody who has been abused as well as abused others, i think it really got to others but nobody cried. I felt fairly touched by what he said and how he thought his father shared his love, and how he has died six years ago without even giving him a hug.
