Here I stand looking out
from inside my treehouse
carved out inch by inch
by my very own hands
I wanted something different
and needed a place to lay my head
so I set about carving my own little piece of paradise
within this tree
It's so unique and people come from far and wide
It's an exhibition piece and museum now
tourists and locals alike stop to look
and photograph my new home
This is my final claim to fame
good looks and brains may have passed me by
but we all have our unique talents
and now I have found mine....
creating unique housing from what nature provides

Well, this captures a secondary use of art, adding onto poetry
I like the more intense serenity than usual in stanza 1. I even have to mark "carved out inch by inch by my very own hands" as my favorite, you were consequently poignant with your words there. And, of course, unless your best friend were the designer and you know the exact specifics, then every dimension you remember must be personal currently... because it's something to be passionate about through many reviews. Doesn't seem like there's much time to decide in verse 6, but I'm glad it got accomplished lol.
Real excitement had to have accelerated, not only by your own self-confidence but now it's a scene everybody wants to be a part of. And, along with "It's an exhibition piece and museum now," I wonder if you have to sign a visitor book to get in or drive by anyway.
Also, the fourth stanza has an interesting concept that it may seem impossible to have anything prime to your own ideas when compared to people in the past. Though, it just takes time to picture what you want and should near, and refine that quality. Never are we tempted to copy anyone else if we aren't in a rush and are patient enough to sense the path.
Thank you for entering and giving a perspective,

Cool picture! Love that treehouse and your poem is a perfect response. There is something so comforting about "carving my own little piece of paradise
within this tree" Nice job and good luck in the contest.
