Haiku Friday - Ode to the Box House



O beautiful box

turned into a house by my

big brother with love.

********

I still remember

it fondly, all the different

places it became.

********

Playhouse, hospital

school, library, vet office,

space shuttle, hotel.

********

We need to bring back

toys without batteries, so

kids can work their minds.

I love this, and it is so very true that a box plus imagination can be so much fun! I miss having that kind of imagination to transform something so simple and humble into a stately castle or whatever I wanted it to be. Great haiku, and cute picture, too - deluxe box, that one! :)

My husband would love that because we'd have to buy something like a huge plasma television just to get the big box. LOL!!
