Ode to a Foreign Field

So I'm here in Costa Rica, two weeks into an 8 week expedition with Raleigh International.

I realised I've not written much aside from my travel journal in over 14 days, and am suffering withdrawl symptoms. Now poetry ain't normally my bag, but below is a quick one I created this morning...

Ode to a Foreign Field

Costa Rica, happy and hot,
My schedule’s been a busy lot.
But a thought crossed my mind
Morbid but positive in kind.

If I should die this day
By snake bite or sun ray
Think only of me, your own,
In a field, far from home.

No more skits or mozzy bites
Sleeping comfy in celestial heights
A girl who has to eat no more
Refried beans from Raleigh stores.










All the best
