Ancestor poem

LI: To write a poem to describe our ancestors using the literary devices of alliteration, onomatopoeia, metaphor, simile, hyperbole and rhyme.

I tried writing an ancestor poem that talks about my culture and my past. The poem talks about my ancestors and the taonga. Taonga are treasuries or gifts like dance, food, stories, and songs. That has been passed down from generation to generation through practise and through stories and songs. In my poem I used repetition in my ancestor poem as a hook to make it seem more powerful. I used the 5 senses which are vision, sight, hearing, taste and touch, to describe how my ancestors travelled in search of land.
