The Dead Tree

Why, thank you, Andrea. I remember it like it was yesterday. It happened a little differently. I was not in bed asleep but was inside the house but in another room. I had a view of the tree from where I was standing, and our son walked by the tree and when he got on the other side that Christmas Tree fell flat on the floor. I started packing up what survived and threw that tree out the door because it had fallen about 3 times before. Sara K

I appreciate you dropping by Janice with congrats. Your visits are always uplifting. Sara K

Thank you, Valsa. I can't remember if I entered it or not. I see from the comment above that I placed in the contest, so I guess I entered it. LOL..Sara K

Sometimes those bought trees are cut way to soon. We cut that one on our own land so it was fresh. I don't know why it kept falling over. Sara K

Andrea, I was thinking about the "Night Before Christmas" rhyme when trying to get a rhythm. I don't think I accomplished that though but it actually happened. Everything I write even if I read another poem that gives me an idea or if I put information into AI to help me come up with a new work comes from what I have lived, felt or read about someone else feeling or living. Thank you for dropping by and leaving a nice review. Sara K

Gershon, I am not familiar with the Jewish traditions that happen this time of year. I do know they have a Menorah that they light because of the time of miraculous oil that lasted so I guess we are even. I only had that one tree that kept falling over but I am sure it happens quite frequently. I even had it in a newly invented tree stand that was supposed to hold it no matter what and hold it very straight. For some reason that year it kept falling over even though that last time I had tied it to the wall. LOL..Sara K

Yes, Howard, I am sure that people from all walks of life have had a live Christmas tree that was chopped down to fall over after it had been decorated. LOL..Except it is not funny when it happens. Thanks for the kind review. Sara K
