#103: timocracy

9/20/2015

Viking Timmy Leif
and friends established tree forts... 
a timocracy ?
Picture
I suppose having a really cool treehouse/hideaway is on my bucket list. 

I remember blanket forts as kid, commandeering blankets, sheets, pillows, cushions and furniture from all over the house with a "secret" entryway just big enough for me to crawl inthrough. 

We grew up in city suburbs, no suitable trees or forests for building treehouses. 

For now, I look forward to helping my friend, Ed, build one on his property near Santa Cruz. 

We might even don Viking helmets to celebrate!

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
