Fox on a Boat

Hello all! Today I am writing this post from Texas. It is my first day here, and also the first time I set foot in America, so all in all I'm pretty excited. It is only morning and already rather hot, but I can't wait to use the swimming pool and go see new places. Travelling here was not as bad as I had expected - I usually get quite bad travel anxiety, but I was remarkably calm once I'd arrived early at the airport. All went smoothly, bag checking, security checking, etc. The plane was an Air Canada one, which I was happy about.. For my new readers who might not yet know, I have loved Canada since I was 16; at the time it was nearly an obsession. So I found my seat in the plane, a window seat, and there were not many people so I had two seats for myself, which would come in handy later. I made myself comfortable with my neck pillow and the plane pillow and once the safety announcements had been made, I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. For the first time, believe it...

(It's actually day 2's prompt but I'm sure no one will mind!) On the Couch I'm on the couch Again, same old. Shadows lengthen, Night time again. Sitting on this Couch again, same old. Road traffic: my only Soundtrack. I should get up, Shut the blinds, Turn on a light. Instead I sit On the couch again, Just like yesterday and before that - I think - I think It's Tuesday now. If I sit long enough Maybe you will join me On the couch, again. Poem two is from NaPoWriMo's day 2 prompt. Vancouver Oh, it's a cold night tonight Alone here in Vancouver. That's right - I'm in Canada. That's the East Coast for you Useless school dropouts. Yeah I'm in Canada tonight, You know, home of the Ei...
