Notes About The Poem

12/3/2025 for Trois-par-Huit for December Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

Need a Stool

Christmas luck - 
Dad arrives, tree in truck!
Eight eyes watch with excited feeling.  

The pine is hoisted up, almost to the ceiling,
with fresh, green smell, and magnificence revealing 
this will be another special yule. 

To place the angel, you'll
need... a stool.

Andrea Dietrich December 25, 2025 at 12:52 AM I really loved this one. I was being strict about them being centered. Other that that, this was really cute . Merry Christmas, David Andrea Dietrich December 25, 2025 at 6:20 PM haha yes, a funny title!! David Crandall December 25, 2025 at 9:49 AM Thanks, Andrea - Merry Christmas! Haha, I'm really challenged in reading instructions. Another problem with my poem is that at first, I didn't carefully read, and see that the title is the last line, so I ended up with a kind of lame title. After I realized it, I said, oh well. - lol.
