Poetry – Joan's flower poem

Sunset Tanka

Giving is caring.

When you care, I bloom

I bloom more and give you joy

Only your eyes see

Tokpisin

Yu lukautim gut

Plawa givim amamas

Ai tasol lukim

Flowers brighten the earth.

Going gardening

Picking the brightest flower

for world poetry day

Tokpisin

Go lo gaten now

Mi pickim naispla plawa

Speaking the same language
Is same as writing what you know best

Joanna pile

only voice she has

is to speak the same language

on what is planted

Tokpisin

em lo tok wan kain tok ples

lo wankain em planim
