Out of the Box: Haiku for the Christmas Season



A tree in a box,
Carried up a flight of stairs.
Open; assemble.



Hard to envision
A thing of beauty, aglow
With lights and baubles.



It just needs "fluffing."
A little here, some more there.
It's showing promise...



Wait--not finished yet.
This is not what I pictured.
Something must be done!



Voila! Masterpiece,
Save for lights and ornaments--
The best part of all.



Except for the people, of course. If not for My Awesome Husband Greg and My Imaginary Granddaughter Jordyn, it would all still be a tangle of branches in cardboard box in the basement. Thank you to my two favorite tree elves!
