The rest of the palm trees

I was afraid they had pitched the rest of the VBS palm trees in the dumpster.  No.  Now they are living in the church attic.  They await the next occasion.  I don*t know when the one in my office will be moved home.  It actually looks good next to my office window.  I can almost imagine living and practicing in the Tropics...

The palm tree

Hasn*t made it home yet.

It looks so nice in the corner

Of my small office

Next to the window;

Almost like it was made

To be there.

My office now has

A tropical air,

Aided by the tree:

Burlap bottom,

Scrunched paper bag trunk,

Kelly green felt

Palm fronds.

I understand

Its brother and sister trees

Now live in the church attic.

They wait for Palm Sunday

Next year,

Or perhaps

Another tropical occasions.

I am glad

They all

Were saved.
