Silver

☝☝☝☝☝

Silver, 

The colour of a knight in glistening armour,

Ready to save maidens,

 Hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

Silver,

The colour of spoons in a warm, cosy kitchen,

Scooping up ice cream from porcelain bowls,

Filling up my hungry stomach.

Silver,

The colour of a cage holding back a foul beast,

Ready to rip anything to shreds,

Banging against the unbreakable bars.

Silver,

The colour of a tank made for war,

Gun at the ready to blow up soldiers,

And you will always know it will take a hit.

And finally, a sword, main weapon,

For a knight.

Blue

The ocean, 

Shimmering bright and miles to explore,

Like stars shining in the vast

Night sky.

A water balloon,

Exploding as it collides with a friends bare chest,

Droplets of water flying free

Only to land on burning concrete.

A blue t-shirt,

Flapping in the wind,

Trying ever so hard to break free

After being wet from a fierce water battle.

Tears,

Created by sadness and loss,

Rolling down cheeks

Like rivers of sorrow.

And finally, the sky,

Infinity and beyond.

Blue.

Myth about Earthquakes

Earthquakes are strange things. They cause the ground underneath us to move, but for what reason? Why do they make the ground shake? Why do they happen? You may find my myth interesting, or a bit disturbing. Please go with the first one.

All of you must know Papatuanuku, the Mother Earth, right? This myth is mostly about her. This happened after Papatuanuku and Ranginui were separated. While Ranginui was crying and created rain, Papatuanuku was suffering pain. And not just by heartbreak. She was pregnant. Of course, she can have babies whenever she wants because she is the goddess of the world.

Her pain parted the land. She shuddered and screamed. This went on for only minutes. She had babies all over the land. She called all of them the Maungas. Many in the center of Te Ika a Maui (North Island) and Te Waka Pounamu (South Island). The Maori called the shakes kumekume a Ruaumoko (a bit of a mouthful) a.k.a earthquakes.
