Christmas Tree Lot
They dressed me up in tinsel
and lametta I recall
stood me in a corner
not as a wallflower
I was the belle of the ball
but now my needles shedding
the moment I've been dreading
limp lonely forgotten neglected
not long before I'm ejected
and two weeks later here am I
a sad and sorry sight to behold
enough to make one cry
discarded by the

Christmas Tree

I
am
a green
Christmas
tree aglow blinking in the
darkest night
decorated with lights and ribbons
angelic star at the top
and gifts at the base.
I see smile on each and every face
in the happy season of love
when the light of hope shines
bright and spreads the festive magic in the cold air
as the wafting snowflakes weave motifs outside
the joy of warmth from

My little Christmas Tree
My little Christmas Tree,
Made of artificial ferns and decorative lights,
It is growing shorter year by year,
Giving company to my shortening stature.
A ong time ago, putting it up was a pleasure,
Kids loved the ambiance, expectation of gifts,
Pictures were taken, lost, and forgotten,
Only survivor me and my lonely tree.

THIS YEAR'S CHRISTMAS TREE
For 36 years it’s been a Christmas tradition for Deborah and me
that the only gift we give each other is a Christmas tree.
As we decorate our tree with memories it never fails to give our hearts a lift…
The Christmas tree we buy and decorate each year is the perfect Christmas gift.
This year we bought a

Christmas Tree
Every year we question whether
we want to put the Christmas tree up
It's a lot of work for a short time
but the joy we feel at the memories
that the ornaments bring back
is definitely worth the trouble!

Presence by the Christmas Tree
I read her old letters from time to time
Hoping one day she may still write
Pretending she's still just miles away
I'll send my letters out anyway
As I read the words I still hear her voice
In these passing moments my eyes get moist
All these times she talks about I remember well
Will you be gone very long? Why

____________________________
why
don't ask
it's a poem
does it make sense
doesn't have to but
each line has to add one
one more syllable I bet
and whose weird idea is this form

will it become a poetry standard

Jane Mansfield and Her Christmas Tree
Is this tree beautiful or what?
Her grandson did not see a tree.
All he saw was Jane Mansfield.
So she showed the picture to her son.
He did not see a tree either.
“Howard,” she said to her husband, “point out the tree.”
He asked her, “what tree?”
In desperation she turned to her ten-year-old grandson.
Timmy, can you show these men
