Pretty Christmas Trees. Splendid twinkle light show; Glittering tinsel, draping branches; Festive ribbons tied in intricate, lacy bows; Cranberries and popping corn strung on lengths of string; Delicate ornaments on display; Spray color for whimsy. Celebrate Christ  2005 Marcia   ·······  ·······"...We are born into the world like a blank canvas

But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work.

HI Marcia!
Oh, I do so love an old fashioned Christmas poem! You paint such a lovely picture! All warmth, and family togetherness as the beautiful tree is decorated in honor of Christ. Sadly, I have come to dread the decorating of the tree and all the squabbles that come with it. Two small children. LOL! Both think they're boss!!!! So, when I start to feel an annyrism coming on, I'll just pop back in here and read this tranquil beauty! Big Hugs, B. ······· ·······I am who I am.

Oh thank- you, Lindi,
This shape poem was a first for me and is so much more difficult than it seems. Need a lot more practice to ever feel comfortable with the form. This was a good challenge to try new and original themes. Thank you for responding so positively. Happy holidays to you and yours, as well. Marcia
