Huia

 W.A.L.T: Draw inferences from a piece of poetry


In Room 2 we have been doing our reading slides. I had to make a google doc of a timeline for what happened to the Huia.

The Huia was a beautiful bird that was used for their feathers. The highlighted bits are an Adverb of time

Huia  - Bill Manhire

I was the first of birds to sing

I sang to signal rain

the one I loved was singing

and singing once again

My wings were made of sunlight

My tail was made of frost

My song was now a warning

and now a song of love

I sang upon a postage stamp

I sang upon your coins

but money stepped towards me

and stole away my voice

Where are you when you vanish?

Where are you when your found

I’m made of greed and anguish

a feather on the ground
