My Secret Cottage

My getaway!

I have a special place
I can go to get away.
I try to go everyday.
It is just down the way.

I call it my Secret Cottage.
Nobody can go except me.
I can relax, think, daydream,
or even cry.

My Secret Cottage has pretty curtains,
fresh flowers, and a big soft chair.

I sit in the chair
I close my eyes
I smell the flowers
I relax

Everybody has a Secret Cottage
they just don't know.
They have to find it.

Sit down in the chair
Close your eyes
Smell the flowers
Picture your Secret Cottage
Relax

Your at your Secret Cottage!
THE END!

A wonderful place to be, and everyone has one...it's just a matter of taking the time to find it.

Thank you to Relic, without whom i would never have found this delightful poem :)

An interesting way to suggest a mental escape. Your description reminds me of being in a group meditation or seeking inner peace. I’ve heard facilitators help people find an escape in their minds, just like this. I’m lucky my cabin is your secret cottage, so I don’t have to imagine this. Good details to show us what your secret get-away would be like. A suggestion . . . a line like this: “smell the flowers” (you use it twice) & you are TELLING instead of SHOWING. This could be more sensory-involved if you SHOW instead of tell. Paint a scent word picture: “wafting scent of citrus and rosewater” . . . altho I applaud you for being straightforward in your writing, it would be fun to see you stretch a little & use more sensory imagery to appeal to all the senses (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

it`s a special place in my soul,that no one else can go

Thanks for the poem. I have a bunch of secret power places I visit as the need strikes me.
Good places for the poet in me to broaden vision.
