We built a tree house
for our clandestine club; secret?
convened in dense limbs concealed? unbeknownst from below. unseen?
A guardian watchtower
to espy invaders of yards spy
within their boudoirs. inside

You could expound on the invasion of privacy of the young girls.
I love the boyish tone of this, good job.
