Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of christmas trees that have fallen while decorated One Christmas and my only Christmas that this happened, the Christmas tree fell about three times and on the day after Christmas it fell again. I took that tree down and threw it out. Good ridence ..

On the Day After Christmas

On the day after Christmas, bam! The tree hit the floor once again That was it, all I could stand, wham! Ornaments in the attic slain

Andrea, Your acknowledgement that it is great is enough. I was not sure about the meter especially the last line. Don't do meter. LOL..I guess I just don't have rhythm. I am grateful for your visit. Sara

Hello Sara Kendrick, that tree must havve been very heavy to fall. Three times it fell. I would bring down stairs and forget it. Then enjoy the rest of the day. merry Christmas. enjoy your day my friend.

Darlene, I am glad that is in the past. Life issues us some unusual happenings sometimes. I think we learn lessons all along the way from those happenings. I hope this Christmas Day is a great one for you. Sara

Alexis, I have no idea but I think maybe it was the stand that was holding it up was damaged or bent. I bought a new stand the next year and I have not had that happen again. I am needing another new stand but I did not even put up a tree this year. I did put out the Nativity Scene and a few other decorations maybe next year. Sara

Sara, I think that Christmas tree was haunted. I am glad you gave it the heave ho. merry Christmas.

Caren, Well, I had even tied it by a string to the wall and it still fell. The nail and string were on the floor as well. LOL..Something was definitely wrong. Thanks for dropping by. Sara
