ANZAC Poem by Year 3/4 Students - Hāwea Flat School

---

The Year 3/4 students at Hāwea Flat Primary School recently wrote collaborative poems ro recognise ANZAC day.

Boats animals people
Guns bullets snapshot
Pistol blood camouflaging
Sniper brave confident
People sprinting falling hiding
Raining bullets hitting
Blood pouring screaming
Terrifying explosions flaming
Smoke cannons booming
Pain sickening scary
Bang blood boom I’m dead
Poppies

Thank you Grandad Jack for saving the world and you would be scared
Thank you for helping in the war
for sacrificing everything and saving our country
for defending us in every way you can
for being so brave and leaving your family to protect NZ
Thank you

I hope we can keep our world like it is I feel safe
I hope the wars finish, that they don’t exist
The world survives
I hope for peace forever
I see the peace in the world not the violence 
I see people laughing not in pain
I wish for peace no more bombs no more war
The guns won’t fire

Hope peace poppies people surviving peace and more peace
Peace for the world
