Beautiful forest Hiking with brave friends I trust I hopscotch across River rock, slippery moss Fell on my butt, soaking wet I'm such a dumb klutz Everyone laughs their guts off Wow! That hurt my butt Screwed up. No clothes I regret Walked around soaking wet By: Eve Roper 1/14/2015

These two tankas have been a real pleasure to read! Most of us relate to funny things like this; when young we do not stop to think twice, and then we have to pay the consequences:) Congrats on your podium win, Eve!

Jan, I was in my 30’s at the time. I was so embarrassed, that really hurt, it was one of our gold dredging hikes with friend an out of town relatives. You get so brave and don’t realize the consequences. Blessings and happiness for you and your family
