-Good image and presentation.
-Syllable count is good.
-Good use of rhyme.
-You have a good
poem about your tree.
-Charlie Brown is so beloved
so that adds to it, as who can
forget the Christmas they had,
which was more than their tree.
-Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. A near bare Christmas tree is not an ideal picture to lift up the spirits, without all the trinkets there is not anything to get excited about.

Awwww, Charlie Brown's little puny tree didn't turn out that bad after the Peanuts gang decorated it and fixed it up.
Snoopy liked it.
Besides, it ain't the size of the tree that matters at Christmas.
It's the size of the heart that's important.
Good luck in the humorous 5-7-5 contest.

Hello Friend,
It's a nice piece of poetry having required syllables in each line, but its humorous aspect is not as vivid as the glittering tree.
Good Luck!

Me too! My tree came with lights on it and for the past couple years they've worked. I think they lasted about three years and this year they finally burnt out. I had to take their strung on lights off. I didn't see any twisty ties but they had to have been twisty tied on there. I swear they were twirl around the branches and it was a nightmare. I finally got all three strings off only to then lose the one string that worked. They were all tangled together and I was just over it so I threw them away. My husband told me there are fuses in the lights and if I could find the blown fuse I could just replace that instead of throwing them away. I was just over all those lights at that given time. I took the lights I use for the glass door and they are now on my tree. I went from three strings of lights to one and my little tree was a cheap fake one so it doesn't have extra pieces to put in the holes like my parents so there are just gaps. Much like yours. I'm actually glad mine isn't the only tree out there like this. It serves it's purpose though and I absolutely love Christmas trees. I'd leave mine up all year if I could. I plan on buying lights after Christmas when they are all on sale. I'll have new lights for next year. I'm still buying presents and have bills to pay. I just can't do lights right now. And I just noticed that you put you ordered a new tree...does that mean I am the only person with a tree like this...Oh no! lol

This is a very funny poem. It reminds me of some of the Christmas trees I've had in the past. Your poem meets the contest requirements. I think you will do well.

Interesting short poem. I initially found joyful acceptance in the simplicity of Christmas when I read the poem/looked at the picture. Then I read the notes. I went back, and still did not find anything humorous--rather an acknowledgement of the sweet simplicity of this tree! Caroline
