Week 2 Bonus 2: Crossing the Tasman

The place we all know,

Where the poppies all grow,

Was once filled with sorrow
I am at home
now all grown.
I see the smiles of my family,
It makes me feel love.
My eyes have tears
Since all my fears are gone
And I was able to stay strong.

Week 2 Bonus 1: In Flanders Field

This poem make makes me feel happy that people were willing to sacrifice their life for their country. It also makes me feel bad that some didn't get to see the battle through to the end as well as their family's smiles. I liked that poem. 

Week 1 Bonus 4: Musicial Festivals - Matatini

My ranking and reasons on the three songs, Tamatea Arikinui, Te Iti Kahurangi and Te Puku o Te Ika.

Tamatea Arikinui at #3 Becuase the men dominate the women voices. Other than that everything was fine.

Te Puku o Te Ika at #2 The harmonies were even and the rhythm was good.

Te Iti Kahurangi at #1 because of their three-part harmonies on point. They also had powerful lead vocalist. You could feel all their emotion being poured into their singing.
