Manahiki
There is only one perfect island in the Cook Islands
One where the water is like the sun
And where the people are known for such friendliness and harmony
Where on a clear night the stars dance playfully in the moonlit sky
One where the water from their waterfalls
Look like diamonds falling from a cliff side
With mothers watching their young grow from their bedside
Where their breath taking atolls are full with breath taking sights
Which have pearls that can fill a woman with delight
This island, this beautiful Island is Manahiki

Hi Martha,
I read your awesome poem about your homeland in the Cook Islands. It was interesting to read how you expressed your feelings into your writing about your homeland. It made me imagine that I was actually there! Keep up the awesome work!

Hi Martha,
I really looked the way you expressed your feelings of how you felt about your hometown in the Cook Islands,I thought it was great how you used similes. Keep up this great work.
Wow Martha,
What a beautiful poem. I especially like the way you have used similes to captivate the mood.
