Kia ora Te Naera, Ka rawe! Kennings look like such fun. I hope they as much fun to make as they are to read. What about making one in te reo? Do you think it would work as well? Ngā mihi, Maria
I REALY enjoyed listening to your kennings poem about kurī!
You have captured the traits of dogs so well by pairing each of the nouns so well - like "bone" with "chewer". kurī sure love a good bone to chew! Did you know that's where we get the phrase "chewing on a bone" when we are describing thinking about something intently. Phrases like these are called idioms.
I also like how you have captured kurī as real family pets. Do you have a dog of your own? If so, what breed is your dog, and does he/she chase cats as your poem suggests?
I really look forward to your reply! Nga mihi nui Naomi (Manaiakalani Facilitator)

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kennings poem you have written here! Unfortunately I am not fluent in Te Reo, but did you say this poem was about your own kurī?
I love the line ‘leg-licker’! My dogs always lick my legs!!
Keep up the awesome mahi, Te Naera!!
Ngā mihi nui,
Charlotte :)
