A Lush green grass valley providing
Spectacular views of the hill ranges
With tea and coffee plantations afar
A lake on the plain encircled by trees
A hobbit house built into the valley
By digging a hole for a sleeping cabin
With a bed carved out from the soil
Wooden planks gave the insulation
On the other end, there's a fireplace
With a chimney to exhaust the smoke
Wood from the nearby areas was used
To build the hoists for the sloped ceiling
Small branches were tied to the hoists
Mud was used to make the walls on the
sides and in the front, gaps were there
For the windows and a door to the hobbit
Wooden planks were nailed to the hoists
To base the roof, a tarpaulin sheet was
laid over the planks and dried grass was
Stacked over it, Soil was laid over the roof
Soil was laid on the sides to create a slope
Glass panes were fitted for the windows
The main wooden hoist became the base
for the cabinet to keep the books, wooden
planks were used for flooring, A table and
chair faced the window, Storage cabinets
were set on the wall at the bedside, The
fireplace doubled up as kitchen, Dutch
oven and kettles as utensils for cooking
Fresh grass was laid on the sloped walls
and roof, To merge with the grassy terrain
Solar lamps lit the hobbit during the night
A small garden with flowers in the front
yard, Completes a dream hideout for a
writer to focus on his craft amidst the
nature, With fresh scent of papers and ink
and a cup of coffee to delve into fantasy
Regardless of rains, summer, or winter
Sans the distraction of the internet world

I've often thought Bilbo was able to write his tale due to being isolated and snug in his hobbit home - seems like an ideal escape pod for any writer :)
