Eve Roper Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

        

Pleasure Hike Tanka 2

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

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!
