Original poetry....

Andrea from Eden Terrace

And so another light diminishes

Angular they said, not looking too long - enough to see you bow
So successful in her sport representing the school and all
I hear she inherited her speed from her grandmother
And so another light diminishes

Singer they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
the voice of an angel lead singer in the choir and all
I hear she inherited her voice from her mother
And so another light diminishes

Artistic they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
Paints pictures like the unspoken word on a canvas
I hear she inherited her talent from her aunt
And so another light diminishes

Successful they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
Takes risks like a formula one driver around a blind bend
I hear he inherited his talent from his father
And so another light diminishes

Individual they said, not looking too long – they missed you square up your shoulders
Dances like a leaf in a wild northerly wind
This they say, I inherited from my self
And in my light, their darkness diminshes

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
