PAD Challenge Day 1 Procrastinating or not procrastinating

My poems this month are from the point of veiw of my main character in my novel ( a jilted bride who goes on her fifty state honeymoon alone) not necessarily from mine.

The Adventure Begins

 My tires rumble down the road
as I gaze across the Texas plains,
stretching out, dry and barren,
to a distant horizon.
I wonder how people got here
and more importantly,
why did they stay?

 
My soul feels like this landscape.

I may not know how I got here,
but pennies have piled up
in my piggybank
as plentiful as my dreams

and I’m NOT going to stay.
