my thoughts about this class - Horrible History
I think I get along with my group well and I could improve on the amount of work that I do and I could do this by focusing and paying attention.

The mines afire
1. his bright eyes staring intensely
2. their dangerous soul-filling quickly
3. his loving heart dying suddenly
4. their curious minds draining slowly

new years poem
Fireworks exploding like bombs
The dogs not that calm anymore.
The barking echos through the house.
The bad hungover parking tomorrow.
Nikki napping with a novel about nickles.
Fireworks frizzling and fuzzling
The noise is so loud I'm going to go deaf
The midnight countdown, too late I'm asleep.

The magpies
- ‘The bracken made their bed’?
When they first arrived they didnt have bedding so they used bracken to make a mattress.
- ‘Tom’s hand was strong to the plough’?
He had a strong hand to do ploughing.
- ‘But all the beautiful crops soon went / to the mortgage man instead’?
The money that they earned from the crops went towards paying the morgage.
- ‘Old Tom’s gone light in the head’?
Old tom has porobly lost a few screws and is probly a bit loopy and might have a dieses like alzihumers.
- ‘The farm’s still there. Mortgage corporations / couldn’t give it away’? They might have died and nobody wanted to buy the house.

Haiku
- Stopyour snivellingcreek-bed:come rain hailand flood-waterlaugh again
- How is it an example of non-traditional haiku? It is not the correct amount of syllables
- What is it describing? A dried up creek that is yearning for rain.
- What is ‘Haiku’ by Hone Tuwhare about? How the creek is dried up and wants to have rain, hail and flood water to save it so it can laugh and be happy again.
- Do you get a picture in your head when reading the poem? If yes, describe the picture. The picture i get in my head is a large dried up river in a desert and rain and floods rushing in then greenery growing and growing happily.
- Why do you think he describes the creek bed as ‘snivelling’? It is sad and the creek wants water to be happy.
The pine trees upon hills,
Gum trees that have history.
Fog painting at dawn.
