Now for something completely different. A Poem. I hope you like it.
Winding through the city, like a dream,
Our people, what a team.
Punting on the Avon, a leisurely ride,
Under bridges and willows, side by side.
The Cathedral Square, a historic heart,
Tūranga to read books and enjoy art
Food trucks on Fridays
Street preachers and vagabonds
Quake City, we've all lived a tale,
Of resilience and strength, after the gale,
The earthquakes that shook, but couldn't break,
The spirit of Christchurch, a tranquil lake.
The Cardboard Cathedral, a symbol of hope,
Rising from the ruins, helping us cope,
With stained glass windows, a vibrant display,
A testament to the city's will to stay.
The avon river, cool, clear and fair
Through Beckenham, Avonside, Cashmere
The Port Hills upon us look down
Rapaki track and the Bridle Path lead the way
The Canterbury Museum, a treasure trove,
Of artefacts and stories, renewing,
From Maori culture to Antarctic exploration,
A celebration of knowledge and inspiration.
The Christchurch Art Gallery, a haven of art,
Where creativity flourishes, right from the start,
With exhibitions and installations, bold and bright,
A feast for the eyes, a visual delight.
The Christchurch Gondola, a ride to the sky,
To witness the city, from up high,
With panoramic views, stretching far and wide,
A breathtaking sight, that fills us with pride.
The International Antarctic Centre, a gateway,
To the frozen continent, where penguins play,
Learn about the explorers, brave and true,
And experience the wonders of the icy blue.
Oh, Christchurch, a city of resilience and grace,
Where nature and culture interlace,
With landmarks and features, both old and new,
A place of beauty, for me and you.
So let us celebrate this city so dear,
With a poem that captures its essence clear,
Christchurch, a place where dreams take flight,
A city that shines, in day and night.
