Write a ‘shine’ poem

Oh, Christmas Tree
we trudge through snowy fields
searching for that “perfect” tree
not too tall
not too wide
not too perfect
we untangle
strings of twinkling lights
and find ourselves tied
up in k(nots) –
we’re not doing this again
fancy glass bulbs hang
beside homemade reindeer
jingle bells tinkle
from branches – sticky
with pine sap
we sigh and even curse
just a little
wondering why we
bother, year after year
then she comes
bounding down the stairs
eyes shining brightly
and we know
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is all about ‘Looking Up at Things’
