The Evergreen
beauty
Winter-blooming

Of white or
purplish hue
In wide
display
Decorate
the European
Landscape
at Christmas
CHRISTMAS STAR

Festively
untypical
Having

And being

Make them

And star

Are more
decoratively typical

CHRISTMAS GREEN
The Christmas green
Festively
untypical
It’s just a
club moss
With
creeping stems
Similar to
ferns
With erect
branches
It has no
scarlet hues
Nor star
shaped flowers
It’s quite
unremarkably
Just
another evergreen
CHRISTMAS FLOWER
The Christmas flower
Festively untypical
Having
poisonous milk
And being
tropical
But scarlet
petal-like leaves
Make them
appear more topical
CHRISTMAS BERRY
The Christmas berry
Evergreen
and spiny
With
flowers of every hue
From white
to blue
With
abundant berries
Bright red
as cherries
