My yard a palace is <br />Of stately column'd trees, <br />And hallways, grandiose- <br />There are no ones, like these. <br /> <br />I go just like a queen <br />Moves up, a marble stair <br />To mount a secret throne, <br />That no one knows is there.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-secret-throne/
