Notes About The Poem

Christmas Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Written 12/3/2023

Christmas Tree

"Children full of giggles, dance in excitement around the Christmas tree, a camera captures the moment." Quote by poet

The emerging day, a crisp fresh white nature 
exemplifies early Christmas season.
Scent painted patterns of blue spruce, 
Scots pine and Nobel fir, so many shapes 
and sizes to pick from. 

Summer long gone; snow lies upon the ground.
Sun crowns the pinnacle emerald trees 
with each limb adorn with handfuls of snow. 
Along the way, a blue jay perched on a limb
shaking its tail feathers, a red robin alights and stares, 
making it easy to pick the perfect Christmas tree. 

Dressed in an armor of glimmering tensile, cranberry garland,
colorful lights, and a variety of glass ornaments on its branches,
and an angel, stands center stage atop of the tree.
Gifts wrapped in colorful Christmas wrapping, 
ribbons, and bows under the tree, a perfect cameo.
