Battle of Gate Pa by Kees

SummaryBattle of Gate Pa by Kees from Kopukairoa, Arataki Primary School was part of an entry by Room 10 into the 150th Battle of Gate Pā Poetry Poster Competition (2014). Main BodyBranches broken on the ground.
And all the people that lost loves one frowned.
The soldiers and warriors smell the gun powder.
Taratoa was a Maaori leader.
Leaders and commanders taking charge.
“End the war,” one of the soldiers might say.

On battle day many were killed.
Freedom is what Maaori warriors wanted.

Gate. Pa(Pukehinahina)!
Amazing war is taking place.
Taratoa gives water to the wounded.
Expressing their mana for their people.

People getting killed.
A victory for Maaori.
