The minute Christmas Day
expires, the old decor
is strone in piles
amidst the plastic bins
with lids.
At once inspired,
today is lifeless,
dull, and worn.
I plan a route
to reach the closest
Goodwill
before the emptiness is seen
and blame befalls
on me.

Even though I love to decorate for Christmas, once the holiday is over, the decorations seem cluttery to me. This poem gave me a chance to express a little bit of that feeling.
