*blind obstination*
life is like my christmas tree
no flashing lights,
a bit lopsided.
real.
memories hang
on brittle, tired branches;
limbs that cry out
from the weight of it all.
yes, i know i should pack it in,
wrap the fragile globes in tissue paper,
put away the past.
let it go, let it go.
but i can't.
little christmas comes soon
and, like 20 years of yesterdays,
that's just one more thing
to which i cling
with blind obstination.

duddle146over 17 years agoChristmas evokes memories of yesteryear ~ the enjoyment of the present ~ the longing to hold the Season close before it takes its leave. Enjoyable!
LeBrozover 17 years agoTo celebrate the season's joy
Strikes me as not blind obstination;
Ten days before and ten after
Gives 3 weeks of Christmas decoration.
sandspikeover 19 years agoOur Christmas tree is on the front porch until the 15th.
Then my wife will put her foot down. I hadn't noticed all
the bagage I had attached to my life in awhile. Wish I
couldn't get it out of the way as easy as that tree. Thanks.
WickedEveover 19 years agoand it reminded me that my tree is still up. I don't seem to care one way or the other if it's there.
Anyway, your poem is real. Good poetry.
