THE HUT

THE HUT

When the tree  
was cut down
it became a waterproof shelter in the corner 
of the playground.
A place of secret invention 
a safe place to be
a hide away
from dangerous monsters
a fortress or a castle
made from 
leaves and branches
and dry twigs to sit on
for a tea party
out of the wind.
It reminded me of
stepping back 
into my own
childhood.
Stories told inside
the hide out 
innocent hearts and friendship
escaping into
imaginative worlds
of child play.

Avie.
