Title: China the Dog

My Nana's dog has been put down today, She was 13 years old ( 68 in human years ) . I WAS HORRIFIED... she has been around since I was born! I heard the news over the weekend and my heart sunk down to my feet. For her whole lifetime she has gone through an infected tail that had to be removed, vomiting, a twisted claw and two infected ears. I consider her a surviver, and now it was just all to much for her age. I pray for my nana and poppa hoping they are coping
I loved China soooooooo much
So I wrote a Haiku poem about her

Oh lazy China
You are the beautiful one
Smiling happily

and a Cinquain poem :

China
Hair is shining
Chasing your brown tail 
You give kisses that melts my heart
Love you ❤️

The Split Part 2

Monday 7.00am

Dear Diary, I must put my plan to action! I have 6 days until Tipene ( Dad )and Aroha leave :(
Plan A: Go to Ahitanga ( mum )and use Marama's secret power of persuasion MSOP* for short

Monday 10.30am

The plan didn't really work like I thought it was, this is how it went:

Marama: Want more fry bread Mum and Dad?
Mum: Have you been at Manawa's again?

Manawa is one of my EX bbfffitw ( best BFF in the world )
She used me and embarrassed me but I still wanna be her friend anyways back to the conversation

Marama: Of course I haven't!
Mum: Okay...
Marama: You know how Dad and Aroha are leaving soon?
Mum: Yess...
Marama: Well they can't leave
Mum: Well they are! And there is nothing you can do about it
Marama: But mum *starts fake crying* I have been taking councilling at school! I am so sad! I can't live without them
Mum: I don't darn care, LIKE IT OR NOT THEY ARE LEAVING FOR GOOD!!

Wow, the breakup must have been bad. I must get to the bottom of it!!!
Talk soon, gonna go cry in my pillow! - M

Thanks for reading part 2 of the split! I hope you are enjoying them, please comment cause I would love to her advice to make this series better!

Facts on Matariki

The last couple of days I found out some things about Matariki that I hadn't heard before.

1. The 7 sisters parents names are Tangotango and Wainui

2. The stars are called the Pleiades
3. ( my personal favourite ) In some iwi, Matariki is just the name of the constellation, so instead of the seventh star being Matariki, it was Mereope

Hopefully you learnt a bit more about Matariki from this.
Thank you! 

The Split

The Split

Dear Diary, my parents split up! They randomly brought it up in a conversation at dinner. I went STRAIGHT to my room and haven't talked to my parents since last night. My younger half sister Aroha is also shocked, she also did not see this coming. They are moving back to Auckland in a week!! I am going to make a promise to myself that I will make this the best week for me and Aroha

Talk soon! Marama x

P.S this is my promise: 

I vow that from today to next week that I will try to do everything in my power to make Dad and Aroha stay, If I can't I will do anything in my power to make the next few days the best week ever!! 

Signed: Marama

Thank you for reading this story about a girl who parents splitted out of nowhere. This happens a lot and to anyone who is going through this, you will be alright and make the MOST out of the time you still have with them, appreciate them, take time out of your day for them and most importantly love them! Like they say: You never miss something until it's gone

This my Haiku poem about Autumn
