Plastic Christmas

Ophelia's picture

Colored lights that shine too much

a greying fall of snow

A jolly plastic Santa Claus that yells out

ho ho ho

Hush, love, quiet now, you'll make them 

fall asleep

And all around the plastic tree

the plastic angels weep

I really love this!   It shows how you feel about the Holidays within a few short lines...wow...i love how you decribe the plastic angels as weeping...very interesting and makes me think.

THis definetly has relevance to me, especially around this time of year. I don't know if you meant it to be read like this, but it made me think of how material the holidays are and how hard it is to get past that. also, how we miss out on things if we just focus on material stuff. Anyhow, great job! i loved it!
