Low tides!



Low Tides

I walk beside you
Across mudflats in
My blue gumboots,
Over cracking oyster
Shells, green ribbed-pipi, The traces of waving birds.
When the tide is out, what lies exposed:
River threads of mud, old brown stones,
Tiny mussels to grow;
My sole prints left
On the ocean’s
Bones.

  2. Hi I'm Hannah and I go to Saint Patrick's school in Greymouth, I really like the descriptive words you put into your work and the topic you chose. Maybe next time you could put what inspired you to write that poem because it would be very interesting to hear. from Hannah
