in scented needles
tiny pine cone buds nestle
natural baubles
icicles hang from branches
sparked by the light of a star

My response to Carpe Diem Seven Days Before Christmas 2018 (5) Christmas Tree
It’s day five of the countdown to Christmas and today’s episode is about the Christmas tree.

A lovely tanka. A Christmas tree in its natural setting….I prefer all the bling and glitz, decadent hedonist that I am:) Merry Christmas Kim !

Thank you. Our indoor tree is small and not very blingy, but it’s covered in old treasures from when my daughter was little, ready for when they arrive later on today. My grandson is only 9 months old but I think he’ll like it anyway! Merry Christmas to you, Cressida, an d a very happy New Year.
