It Started with a NEW Tree


New Tree in The Nook

I fought the tree, 
or did it fight me?
I truly did not like the decor at all,
It made me want to have a quick bawl.
Grabbing the cell, 
I thought oh well,
I will just take small pieces
and see if that pleases.
looking up I saw the idiot in the mirror
could there be anything dearer?
The tree was done,  and done again,
I still don't like it, it is still not a WIN!
Two days later, I removed berries and cones
and today I am continuing to moan.
the man of the house said you will never be satisfied 
Just stop! you have really tried,
I snarled at him, listen to me Boy,
I will not stop until when I look at it, I feel Joy

PS actually I did not say Boy. I could not think of rhyming words for what we both said. this kinda sorta tells the tale.

I was thinking of your tree today. I couldn't remember how you had decorated it, or if you had showed it. Glad to see I had not forgotten. I like it with the pretty lights on it!

Another fun post. I especially like the reflections of you. ❤️

Your Xmas theme looks strangely wintery - we say strangely knowing you live in a hot place. You have really captured a northern Christmas look.

Funny poem! What is going on with the tree? Do you need a theme? OR, DOES IT NEED ICICLES? Sometimes icicles thrown over heavily will turn a blah tree into a lovely tree! What about a Florida tree, like a Carmen Miranda tree with lil' flamingoes?

we agree... the battle will last till we feel joy and till we say it is OUR tree.... btw: the adequate rhyming words can be muck, stuck or plug... LOL

Hello,
Your poem is cute and I like your tree. The light, pine cones and berries are pretty. Cute selfies too! Have a great day!

Well...you ARE smiling as you look at your work. Maybe partially pleased?

Did you tear some of it apart to get the pine needle clippings. Or is that craft picks?

Chatty Crone said...

I love your lights and your items are so clean and sparkly!

Ann said...

I like your little tree. It looks pretty with those lights on it. Call me crazy, your reflection in the mirror looks pretty joyful.

The fun never ends...I am looking forward to the rest of the tale.

Love this! Same 'stage' and your creativity makes it look new every season. You're having fun, and that's all that counts. Right?

PS Gotta say, those first two images made me think of those doo-dads at the bottom of an acquarium.

Well, at least you are smiling while the trials go on and on.
I like it but I know when there is something in one's mind and it doesn't turn out that way ...no satisfaction.
Eagerly waiting for the next installment.

The berries and pine cones look lovely. I have pine cones around my house all year long.

Hello Sandra, :=) Cute poem! Your tree looks lovely as it is, with all the lights on, but only you will know when you are a 100percent pleased with it.You look pretty holding your Christmassy red camera, and looking like your tree may be almost to your liking,..perhaps!!
