What Am I? by David (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.

I am long, big and heavy.
I am sinking
While oil is coming out of me
I am angry I crashed and spilled oil.
I'm killing sea life
As oil drifts in with the tide
On to our sands.
