The Holly Tree Poem by chris schwartz

The Holly Tree



There's a holly tree
In my back yard.
Reminds me of
Christmas;
The symbols we place
So strategically
In our lives.
But just until recently
I never knew
What holly looked like
Nor did I care.
Suddenly, I see it
Growing
And I wonder
Why it's plastic
Deception
Was put so
Foremost in front
Of me.
As if to celebrate
The reality
Of what really isn't.
