My Get Away Hideaway Treehouse Haven

it is drizzling outside
oak tree looks in window
gasoline lamp is not unlike a faerie light

cozy comforter made by grandma
plush pillows on couch
a philodendron hangs from the limb of the tree trunk

this tree house is my Shangri-La
My haven, a writer’s retreat
flickering candles give it an ethereal glow

My favorite biographies and adventure books
Waiting to be read in the rain
It is silent here, a reader’s alcove

There are flickering candles
I read my books, enjoying the ambiance
of my hideaway nook high in a cottonwood tree.

Dream on, Caren. You'd never get permission from the zoning board these days.

Who uses zoning boards in the country? Snicker. Snicker.
