Auora
Hi would you be able to help me with an itinerary for 6 weeks trip to Australia and New Zealand alone leaving the second week of July-August. Im thinking to book a one way ticket, then can book my return flight anytime and will stay in hostels but I'll be 27 by then so would I be considered too old for that?
Sydney 2 weeks
Auckland 10 days-2 weeks
Brisbane 1 week
Cairns 5 days
Will this be enough time and how much spending money should i take (im from the UK) and would a working holiday visa be beneficial?
I would like to start in New Zealand, then head to sydney and work my way up north. Is that ok?
Types of clothing to take for July-August?
Im an introverted person and enjoy my own company but once I get to know others I enjoy socialising to an extent lol and I do hope to meet others. Would a backpack or suitcase be best to take?
Any other adivce you can offer for a solo travelling female planning to tour Australia and New Zealand for about 6 weeks please?
Answer
hi there... forget the negative nellies out there women can and do travel safely all over the world and I for one have travelled most parts of the world and alone and the few times I was with somebody I hated it you get stuck you don't get to meet so many people you don't get invited to places and they do say that the fastest way to end a friendship is to travel with somebody
you already said you enjoy your own company so go for it... as for luggage well suit yourself I actually never owned a backpack only a small bag that fitted into the airport measurement thing... one tip never never leave your bag unattended or with somebody always keep with you even take it inside the toilet not outside the door
as for being safe well I advise that if you expect trouble trouble will find you dress modestly don't get into tricky situations where alcohol is involved even lie if you need to pretend your friend is waiting to meet you
as for itineraries again sorry my advice is quite different you will not know till you get to a place and meet people hear of things etc how long you want to stay sometimes you might "plan" to just stop for lunch and end up there for a week (this is a true example and happened to us YAMBA... check it out) there is a cheap hotel/pub on the cliff has group rooms....so keep your itinerary open to flexibility much more fun that way that's what travelling is about
as for hostels etc you are never never too old
for clothes the thing is layer layer layer stick to one color scheme the this goes with that thing and if you pack properly you need the same things for anywhere and for any time period
something to travel in and an all purpose jacket which you carry on, something to sleep in, swimmers, one good outfit, always something warm like a light weight cashmere sweater or cardigan even in the tropics can be handy and also a sarong is handy and then a casual wear it every day just change the tops sort of outfit

Does anyone know of a website that I can create different styles of poems on?
Nomo
I need something that I can partially create because they have to be original poems for a class, and I cannot write poetry. Please help me if you can.

Acrostic
Acrostic poems are poems, which have one word where each letter of the word begins a line for the poem. These poems make great gifts when printed on fancy paper and set in a frame.
Here are some examples of acrostic poems I wrote
Michael
Made in Australia
Inventive mind
Creative thinking
Heart as big as the land
A man in the making
Ever seeking
Loving son
Flower
Frequently seen
Lovingly adored
Once seen never forgotten
Waking with the sun
Eager for the day
Resplendent glory
Free Verse
Free verse is a prose form of poetry. Free verse is just that.. free⦠unstructured.. no rulesâ¦.
Here is an example of a free verse poem I wrote
New Day
I woke to the sound of Suzi Quatro blaring in the bathroom
I felt compassion for my mother who woke the same way a generation
ago..
Devil Gate Drive at 6 am is hard to takeâ¦.
Karma.. what you send out comes back to youâ¦
Oh well it could be worseâ¦. It could be Kizz at 6 am
My feet hit the floor and my mind seeks coffeeâ¦
Caffeine.. my friendâ¦.
Suzi blares louder as the bathroom door is flung open
BANG BANGâ¦. Mum get up it is after sixâ¦
Yeh yeh I knowâ¦.
Why does modern life torture us with early rising..
I pull on some clothesâ¦
Good morning sweetieâ¦. Have you got some lunch ready for school
Blechhhh no one eats packed lunches at high schoolâ¦â¦
Argue the pointâ¦. why? you cant make them eatâ¦..

Haiku
Haiku is a traditional Japanese form of poetry. A haiku is a poem
consisting of three lines. Each line has a specific number of
syllables, ( word parts ie. Con/ sis/ting is three syllables). The
first and third lines have 5 syllables and the second line has seven syllables.
Haiku are traditionally about things in nature such as rocks, clouds, animals, water, wind, sun, mountains etc. Haiku traditionally signifies a specific season and a specific point in time. Here are some of my own Haiku for you to see:
Caterpillar
Caterpillar eats
All the munchy-crunchy leaves
Butterfly appears
Thunderstorm
Rumble grumble rahhhhh
Lightning flashing all around
Crack angry sky heavy rain
Daffodil
Fairies teacup sweet
Dandelion tea to drink
Bobbing in the field
Limerick
Limerick is a form of poetry most renown and named after the city said to be it's place of origin, Limerick, Ireland.
Limericks are poems of five lines. The lines have a specific rhyming pattern the pattern is lines one, two and five rhyme with one another and lines three and four rhyme with one another.
Limericks are traditionally very humorous and often about a specific person. However they seldom seem humorous to the person they are about.
Here are some examples of limericks I have written. I must add this is the one form of poetry I have always found a great struggle.
A man on the net
There was a man on the internet
He talked to women he never met
The women cried
The man soon died
What a sad end forever yet
Boy from Australia
There was a boy from Australia
He had a face like a Dahlia
His wife nearly cried
When he turned to the side
Cause his ears were like a trailer

ODE: The Ode is a rhyming poem, usually humorous and often satyrical or sarcastic in nature, which is usually composed in 'honour' of a particular person, occasion or thing. Modern odes are generally rhythmical and almost ditty-like.
Example of an Ode:
An Ode to The Garbo
The Garbo Man drives a mighty truck
He has mighty skill and mighty pluck
Every Thursday morn at half past eight
I hear his truck roar at our front gate
Two arms swing out and lift up the bin
shaking all the rubbish and tipping it in
Plastic bags and old tin cans too
Then off next door to house number twenty two
The Garbo man works very very hard
never rising from his seat
while he goes from yard to yard
Here is a website to find out more about the Ode.

BLANK VERSE: Blank verse is a non-rhyming poem. It is a formal poem in the sense that the structure must have a particular repeating beat (metrical feet) pattern. The metrical pattern can be in any order ie. stressed-unstressed-unstressed; unstressed-unstressed- stressed etc.
Essentially a Blank Verse poem is a sonnet of sorts which does not rhyme. The metre needs to remain the same throughout the poem and the poem can be any length and the lines can be any length though all the lines in a single poem need to have the same number of feet.
An Example of Blank Verse
Nature's Whisper
In sky scraper jungles of steel and glass
Upon busied streets of suited beggars
Neons mindlessly blinking in sunshine
Starched white faces with painted smiles
Treadmill people with treadmill lives milling
Mining and milling the mighty dollar
Nature's whisper is lost to their ears
Lost in the jungles of steel and glass
Nature's whisper silenced forever
Natures voice whispering let me breathe.

SONNETS are a traditinal forma of poetry which has to pedigrees, one is the Italian Sonnet and the other is the English Sonnet.
Sonnets are generally 14 lines long and follow an Iambic Pentameter in the rhythm of each line and have one of several rhyming schemes.
Here is an example of a sonnet I wrote.
My Australia
A Sonnet
In youthful days I travelled round this land
climbing rocks and trees, mountains and hills too
swimming creeks, billabongs and rivers true
stretched on a beach feeling sun-warmed sand
dusty miles on distant roads low and high
seeing hailed crops and waving fields of green
forests tall, shrublands and deserts in sheen
in walking cross the land I felt her sigh
In her sigh I felt a shudder and pain
my heart ached for the losses seen and felt
tears welled in clouds stinging raindrops falling
gullies wide unleashed torrential drain
dusty trees arching skyward, verdant sveldte
A land, a love, a life, a death calling
For a great read on SONNETS read message number 721 on the messagboard

Richard went to a lot of trouble to define Sonnets.
Try one of these forms and feel free to post the results on the
