Oh Tannenbaum! (haiku)

by David R Spellman

Christmas tradition
has forced all the trees inside;
vacant forest


12/17/2003

Author's Note: Just an observation piece - I actually do love the decoration.

Clever! Humorous! With all the cut trees it does seem that way! ;)

A symbolic treasure and tragic crime of nature, all wrapped up in a pretty bow. Good stuff, Dave. Pe4ce...

So true my friend. Very powerful message here in only three lines. PS: Thanks for the feedback as per my POTD!

And I don't know if the artifical ones make the situation any better. Good reflection, and outstanding haiku, Dave.

The trees are inside something that is no longer there. Whoops... my brain just fried. A forest that is no longer outside, they have moved inside and are no longer interconnected. Great verse that is both witty and deep.

This is certainly something that implies a lot of thinking. So many allusions can be made. Nifty.
