the Christmas tree
gleaming brightly
so we silently
watch attentively
No presents there
It's all laid bare
No money nowhere
Yet we don't care
family's quiet embrace
dresses of faded lace
gratefully poor in disgrace
in this richest of space
Author notes
Well, I like rhyme, and I like Christmas. I only hope this stands up to what the contest calls for.
