Here’s my brand-new nook, fresh from Chez Moi,
A chair so plush it still has that showroom name. The cushions are firm, no sag in sight yet, The backrest supports me no creaks, no regret.
Right beside it, my bookshelf stands proud and straight, books neatly lined up, no leaning to hate.
They’re crisp, barely touched, with that new page scent. Classics and sci-fi, all perfectly meant.
I ease into the seat with a satisfied grin. Already plotting the hours I’ll win. I’m not hiding from chores (well… maybe a bit),
Just testing the vibe with my tea still hot. This spot is my launchpad, my just built retreat,
Where grand thoughts are brewing, no dozing, not sweet. It’s peaceful, it’s quiet, it’s mine from the start.
A perfect small haven, right here in my heart. No yelling “Dinner!” has shattered it yet. The cat’s only visited once (no debt).
So here I’ll stay planted, all shiny and new. A reader, a dreamer, with zero worn through.
For now it’s perfection, no swallow in store. But give it some time… I’ll be back for more
