Bonus Activity: Crossing the Tasman

Bonus Activity: Crossing the Tasman

This activity I have to write a poem imagining that I was on the first plane going from Australia to New Zealand.

The plane takes off
As my eyes look through the window
Sea waves wash up on the shore
Man this is a long trip
Australia yesterday
New Zealand today

  1. Kia Ora Jess,

    Well done for writing such a beautiful poem! Just like in the "In Flanders Fields" poem, you can find melancholic rhythm in this poem. Remember the poet reflecting that I spoke about? Here you can find the same thing. Do you think you could tell me what particular part of this poem is melancholic?
    I really enjoy the last two verses as well; they're simple but tie the poem up really nicely.

    Keep up the excellent work!

    Cheers,

    Jordan
