Lilac Fort
On a drizzly day,

I step outside to meet face to face with the cold. I go down the twisty path. I see deer scamper, horses grazing in the meadow, and then I'm there- a secret fort with lilac walls. A squeaky swing, the entrance looking before a creek. I sit on a rock and look at the creek. The fish scatter when I set my foot in the water. Everything is silent except the creek and the pitter-patter of the drizzle. I take out my foot and go back home. I open the door where a cozy fire sits. I put on my pajamas and I go to sleep whispering - see you tomorrow.
