I miss having a tree house -- I live in the house that I grew up in and the land next to me used to be empty. I know look into my neighbor's back yard and see old peaces of wood hanging in her tree that I put there 30 or so years ago.
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

but

Vaughn you're really spinning out some good stuff here. Maybe you're the one that needs to be putting together a book. I would buy one!!
Charming! I feel nostalgic.
Andrew: Wow, I'd ask the neighbour if you could retrieve one of the boards (for sentimental reasons).
Tim: Thanks...please share your experiences if you do.
Floots: ;-) Wish I had completed one of the ones I'd started.
Pat: Thanks buddy...your words are encouraging, maybe someday we could actually put out a couple of chap books.
Natalia: Thanks.
She would let me do that, but my neighbors think I'm weird enough already. :)
lovely!
Old tree
carefully strengthens
its roots

Collin: Thanks for your kind words.
Polono: Thanks,
Tikis: Ah, from the tree's perspective.
