A Decorated Tree
Everygreen and Everspread are you
At least for a week or two
Sitting in the living room
Where we placed you in bloom
Water in your little stand
To be filled daily by hand
With only your needles to wear
You won't long be bare
For we will decorate you tree
Gathered together the family
From the attic we gather decorations
In our holiday preparations
No one's fighting, no one screaming
As the ornaments are passed with feeling
No two ornaments the same
Childish some are and others lame
Each has it's own story or tale
Which everyone knows without fail
A smile spreads on every face
As the Tree Top Angel is put in place
A Tree so decorated and full
At heartstrings the sight does pull
When I look around my family and see
That just like our Decorated Tree
We are each different and yet the same
All of us Childish and a little lame,
But we all know each other's stories well
And it makes my heart with pride swell.

- Title: A Decorated Tree
- Artist: Shadow Warrior Sam
- Description: Well, I was debating about entering this contest and what I should enter. Not knowing whether or not it should be a 'Poem with Holiday Spirit' or not I decided to go with the Holiday spirit anyway. Today we went out and bought our X-mas tree to decorate. I was at a friend's house and drove the 20 minutes ride home, just so I could go. And that is what this poem is about.

- That's such a cute poem. I really liked it, very cheery and heartfelt. I mean, I can't relate to it much at all but you know it works on another level for me. I like it, and I'll give it a good vote when I can.

- Sweet poem. I think it captures the holiday spirit quite beautifully. I think most people can easily relate to it as well. I also like how it not only relates to Christmas, but involves the family and has like a little moral (can't think of another word for it) with how we're all different and such. It was a nice touch. Great job. I hope you score high.
