A nook in the house,
by the bed—
it’s my happy place.
Surrounded by
favorite books,
full of life lessons
and skills to teach me,
I am never alone here.
I love reading, thinking,
and writing for hours.
My art adorns the walls.
The window opens
to a hilly vista.
It’s my sanctum sanctorum.
Here I sit,
wrapped in my robe,
feeling cozy,
ready for cerebral Zen
in quiet ambiance.
Listening to music,
sipping hot tea.
I guard my privacy.
I feel lucky
to have a corner to myself.
It’s important—
for my emotional well-being.
Note: Do you have a study nook?

Great job and yes, I have a nook to read and write and color. I too am surrounded by books and crafts.
Such a beautifully written piece! 📚✨ The poem perfectly captures the warmth and tranquility of a personal sanctuary. A cozy nook filled with books, art, and peaceful solitude—truly a haven for the soul! ☕🎶
