Miss Christmas Tree 2022 (& 2020 & 2021)
There is tree outdoors in a pot --
a big deep pot on a patio,
standing bravely in a spot
in a rainy December.
X marks the spot where outdoor tree
stood tall, dressed in bells,
trimmed in white lights
and frippery of red and green.
Outdoor tree patiently waits all day –
to glow at dusk into night,
keeping watch, providing
unexpected protection and delight.
Through the window she blessed me,
worth all the effort to dress her up
paying me back in constancy
and remembered fantasy.
Never passing judgement
all the while witnessing
the shenanigans of my daily life.
Miss Christmas Tree glowed quietly through th' night.
