DMC: "I made my first treehouse" by Christine Rodenbour




I made my first treehouse
With blankets and vision,
But each time I sat
There’d be a collision.

This time I was smarter.
The treehouse I’ve built
Should be quite sturdy.
I’ve used my mom’s quilt.

  1. This is so sweet, Christine. It reminds me of something my own kids might have built. Well done with the vision/collision rhyme too!

  3. You're right, Michelle -- sweet and realistic, both! I wonder what happened next... Was there another upgrade? Sofa cushions, perhaps?

    1. Hi Tabatha, thanks for reading. I was thinking she gathers up her hair bows to better secure the ends ;). Cushions would make a great addition!
