Christmas Tree Poems

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

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

Premium MemberMy 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.

Premium MemberTHIS 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

Premium MemberChristmas 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!

Premium MemberPresence 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

Etheree's Christmas Tree

____________________________






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

Premium MemberJane 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
