" -conjure an imaginary house of any size, any place, any age
  -fill it with an imaginary person/people past or present, or
   ghosts,  or leave it empty with its history
  -make it literal but move into the metaphorical if you wish."


Here is Jenny!  She is
my dream log cabin
home.  Roof imprinted
with shadows of nearby
trees, pleasing shade for
front porch–a necessity.
Note the chimney.  It will
keep me snug and sheltered.
Inside, a hearth rug
for my animals.  They love
to lie in front of fireplaces.
Chair hung from ceiling
is rounded and pillowed,
perfect for curling up.
Wide windows for wishing,
daydreaming, or watching
wildlife.  Cabin's main
focus is a spacious
room.  A woodsy scent
permeates the house
of happy people and pets.
Other rooms are still
in the dream-schematics.  This
cabin is named for
my grandmother.  Say
hello to Jenny.
