My Tree House and The Poet Tree House

Charlotte Rose and Father Goose in the Treehouse



My Tree House

Welcome to my tree house,
my free house,
my me house,

where I come to ponder,
to wonder,
to look up at the sky,

where I come to daydream,
to play dream,
to watch the clouds roll by,

where the air is fresher,
no pressure,
where treetops swish and sway,

where I come to look at
the books that
take me far away.

The Poet Tree House

Let’s build poems
made of rhyme
with words like ladders
we can climb,
with words that like
to take their time,

words that hammer,
words that nail,
words that saw,
words that sail,
words that whisper,
words that wail,

words that open
window      door,
words that sing,
words that soar,
words that leave us
wanting more.

  1. Lucky sweet Charlotte to have this time with you...and to have you as her grandfather. I adore the pure joy in these treehouse poems, and I wish you'd write a collection of treehouse poems. Happy PF!
