//------------------------------// // Day 18 // Story: The Winding Northward Road // by Rambling Writer //------------------------------// Don’t actually have anything to say; last two days have been nothing but forest, forest, forest, and train tracks.  Not stopping at any towns.  No big events.  Rambling Rock’s still a day or so away.  Just writing some more haikus to keep myself mentally active. Unused poem skills? Can’t let them rust; must use them. Exercise th Don’t waste your talents. Is it “pohm” or “po-em”?  I hope it’s the latter, or that really isn’t a haiku. Exerci The mind’s exercise: Intellectual challenge, Like this wri Like all this writing. Eternal forest green; (crap that’s six syl.) Virid Emer Endless forest green; Light filters thr Softly, light filters through leaves, Dancing on to the ground. Oh, and I’ve got tent-setting-up and tent-taking-down down to a science.  I get take it out quickly and, when it’s up, it’s strong and stable.  When I take it down, I know how to fold it to get it in its bag the best.  Feels good.
