The minds imagination is a wonderful thing, it would be great if we could build our treehouse on a stump, and watch it grow, very well written and presented****kahpot

Well expressed and presented. I like the three different colors that express each verse. Well done. I can see how the tree stump would take him back to his tree house.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Gypsy, your poem has great sensory appeal, and I could feel the walk down memory lane of the old man. Tree houses are so much fun. My sons had one, and they had so much fun with it. The tree house is now gone, but the tree is still there. They reminisce when they see it.
Well done. Xo. M

Aww. That's so sweet! I love how you set up the present day picture of the tree stump and long ago, that old man remembers the treehouse on the tree that used to hold his treasured hideaway.

    Yes, that's right. Made me think of the giving tree. I always wanted a tree house.

    Thank you very much, big sister.

    Today there was an Art walk event at Atticus school. He also performed a couple of songs... he is so cute and an outstanding artist.

This haiku is heavy with nostalgia, wistful feelings of a bygone youth. The tree stump proves, time moves on. A poignant moment well expressed.

This is simple but well written and well presented. We also have a swing set that I mostly look at so I understand the emotion here. I imagine a day I can swing high again. I enjoyed reviewing this!

Love

Alexan :)
