    Hello Emma. I wanted to work with your exercises but wouldn't make the time. The last 4 days I was on a trip to visit friends and celebrate the carnival together (carnival is similar festivity to Halloween). I hopped in the coach at 10:00 p.m and arrived in Athens at 05:00 a.m, so it felt like a good time to watch the video and use my notepad carefree. 1) Wordplay. Using a 1d6 the choice was Power. Word association in 3 minutes: Raw, Infinite, Current, Voltage, Consumption, Fire. 2) Rhyme Vocabulary. Using a 1d4 the choice was Sand. Rhyme: Land, band, hand, and, run. man, fan. fun. 3) Picture this. 1d6 roll and red car image. You got me driving under the yellow sun its really happening Me and the rest of the band Our red is shining Its time to make a run. 4) Flow. Waiting in the front line For the carnival to pass by Excited and so hyped My body is vibing as they dance by. 5) 3 Blind Dice. 1d6 roll = 2,5,3 so waves, road and dying respectively. We come in waves. In the pitch black road. My patience is dying As we are not moving on Close to the window I breath So heavily. Me engine is no more sacking She readily. 6) Memory Lane. (I stayed three nights in a row in a mountain refuge) Amidst the mountain our refuge stood clear.. The morning breeze and the heart warmth told me to disappear.. I stepped outside for a deep cold breath. My lungs felt joy but were upset. Such a nice change of scenery they claimed. We want more of this, instead of the city's lanes. 7) Here and now. I picked the presence of my friend sitting next to me on the coach. She was so tired from the party and the carnival, she was sleeping dead. Gentle I said, no need for sudden moves. Heavilly as she sleeping I don't want to disturb her now. She doesn't care cause se partied all night. Now happily she snores all right! 8) Rhyme Scheme. 1d4 roll, result: A B B A. Many hours on the road. The coach is quite and everyone is tired. They partied really hard at the carnival. No need for stop just bring us home. 9) Emotion ties. Select one prompt and one emotion. How much i missed our old house i can't even say! We were on rent and struggling but we had happy days. A photo in our old fridge with your smile is what remains. Nowadays I don't even know where you stay. 10) Suitcase. Your tried to put one me some make up But I wouldn't stay still. There was a bright star sticker which you placed on my chick. Now I am back home struggling to wake up. Cause the nights we spent together did not force me to feel. I promise you, our photos will remain so the memory won't flick. P.S: Emma, I want to thank you for your content. As an adult who wants to decide to get involved with music but is struggling with time and effort, your videos and live streams are always there as reminder not to give up. It might take a lot more time but eventually, we will get there. Cheers from Athens, Greece.
