A rotten old tree
dead but still standing
cold and riddled with holes,
was brought back to life
on a cold wintery night
when…..
Christmas creativity
came wandering by
with bells, two eyes, and a nose,
pine branches and bows
hung in just the right places
look…..
a tree reindeer! ~ms

Absolutely fascinating. It is nice to realise that not everything ultimately dies! there is always scope for rejuvenation!! greetings from India to you!
Aha! Appearing, disappearing, reappearing…life always changing forms. Like a magic trick that’s hard to understand.
Yesterday, I saw the movie “Life of Pi”….about the adventures of a young boy from India. I absolutely loved it. Greetings from the U.S. to you also!
oh that is great to hear. I have been planning to watch it forever now!!
Your little review makes me all the more interested!
btw…can we also call this post “Rudolph”!!
And yes, I guess you could call it a rooted Rudolph.
Personal Concerns,
Once you mentioned Rudolph, my mind started singing to itself.
Ooooh Noooo….make it stop….Hahahahaha!
” Rudolph the rooted reindeer
rotting in a field forlorn
woke up one frosty morning
shocked to see he’d been reborn….”
Brilliant!
Reblogged this on kiwissoar and commented:
This is so neat…
Thanks!
It is really cute .. but it will be kinda scary at nite if it have glowing eyes and a flashing red nose. LOL!!
Luckily, it has no power source…so no blinking, no flashing.
If might glow in the moonlight though. And that might be rather unnerving.
It’s totally brilliant, I had to share this with friends… LOL!
Thank you, 1Earth United.
Awesome
Words like that make tree reindeers happy!
Well, its so rare to meet one, what else can you say?
Truly Awesome Creation………….the picture and the lines following it.
Thanks!
Creative whimsy – I hope he’s visible enough to bring a smile to passersby.
The tree is quite visible to those who pass by.
That’s how it caught my wandering eyes.
Oh my GOSH! Adorable! LOL! How very, very cute. What fun … thank you so much for sharing!
It is a cute little face, I agree.
Hi Mary, appreciate you stopping by my blog. Really love this post. Whimsical. Put a smile on my face. Thanks so much
Your welcome, Mz Zoomer!
Happy Holidays.
With ribbons and bows and ZING!
I love this! It is an adorable poem about something even more adorable! Thanks for sharing, and happy holidays to you.

Thanks Eunice. I love trees also. Great to see this little one so thoughtfully ecorated. And now, with a star on top of it all. Merry Christmas!
This looks to me like the head of a friendly dragon. I also seem to see a face with an elliptical mouth in the trunk above the would-be animal’s head.
I see that little face too. Must be Santa?
I had to show this to my son. Pretty cool.
Thanks….I hope it made your son smile!
He couldn’t help but laugh. He is 14 and has that same type of sense of humour.
That’s great!
My grandson came up with the idea for the short story “Revolt of the Green world” that I posted back in November. Young minds are such a great source of creative inspiration—because they are usually not afraid to think outside of the box.
Wow, it’s a small world – this is the reindeer tree that lives in my subdivision! Every year I keep my fingers crossed that a storm doesn’t knock it over, and that the wood doesn’t rot. This is the best picture of it I think I’ve ever seen…
Aha! I live about 15 minutes away. I work from time to time within your subdivision, for the Visiting Angels. All of the photos in my post “Honking Attitude” were also taken there. And “Dreaming Eyes” ….that is a negative inversion of a tree that is very close to where I photographed the geese.
I am also singing with the Rappahannock Chorale Society (RCS) and we are learning Civil War songs for a concert in the Spring. There are several people in that group from your subdivision. Small, small world it is!
awe so nice and cute..thanks for sharing and visiting my blog dear
