Ground Zero--no not NY but my husband's den
And that not for long, I'm taking it back
I have NEVER had my own space and thats a sin
He's hunting so I'm making my thought a fact

It is going to become my own sewing room
With fabric.machines.tables.shelves for me
Space for special things will be there soon
Things I can leave out for me to see

Out goes all the stuffed birds.snakes and deer
The walls will have a new look you bet
No more wings going no where or eyes to lear
A place called storage is where they will set

I can see it all now and I can't wait
To be able to leave a project out and not away
To open the door to a colorful design I create
I'm so happy just thinking of that wonderful day

Out out you old dead creatures get go
Sweep the walls and floor.polish and shine
In no time order and organization will flow
And I will have a space that is all mine

If dust bunny's grow they will be mine
Quilt blocks and quilts can grow in the open
Pins.needles.threads in bright hues to shine
My place with a door so if I please can let you in

OOOoooops! lol Don't expect any sympathy, tho' I doubt you will need ask any, you're just that kinda gal huh? Just make sure you order the shed.

Inner Sanctum

Consider, if you will, the male’s domain
He’s there dawn ‘til dusk and even through rain
Enter his sanct’ry at solely your risk
Take care as you leave no need for a frisk
For take from his place the tiniest screw
You take a great risk and more the fool you

All is in order and counted just so
It seems disarray, an untidy row
Nuts and bolts, every type of nail is there
No touching machines or tools don’t you dare
His only retreat for deep reflection
In the kitchen he’d bear like rejection

I guess one becomes content with one’s poetry when one opens the book ten years hence and does NOT exclaim, “Did I really write this?”

LOL at your den. Maybe you should design a REVERSA-WALL? you could put your shelves on one side and his on the other, then flip them around depending upon who is home?
Have fun dueling in your den.

Now Paddy, that isn't fair!  He has 2 big barns--they held cows and such--a milk house, a garage and other nooks and crannys.  I need 1 little space.  Love your poem about guy stuff.

Midnitesun, no way!  I want it all for myself.  No flipping around!! lol
