Rena Crashes Hard by Jamey Williams (Maungatapu School)

DescriptionIn 2011 Maungatapu School's Room 13 (year's 2 & 3) wrote poetry in reaction to the Rena disaster. The poetry and posters appeared in a window display at Tauranga City Library.

Rena crashes hard onto the Astrolabe Reef.
Sharp rocks cut into the boat.
Black oil oozes from the crack and finds its way to the Mount Maunganui Beach.
The containers tip into the ocean.
Some sink like a rock. Others wash up on the sand.
People are sad, angry,annoyed.
WE WISH IT NEVER HAPPENED.
