Māori poetry

Māori poetry is the poetry of the Māori people of New Zealand. It is written in Māori, the language used by the Māori people, and is often centered on subjects like nature, family, and traditions. It is often written in a way that uses metaphors and imagery to illustrate the beauty of nature, the bonds of family, or the strength of Māori traditions and beliefs. Sometimes Māori poets will also use symbols or artwork to help their readers understand the poetry. Māori poetry can be a powerful way to pass down stories or help people to connect with the culture and history of the Māori people.
