First Edit: Lonesome as a Hotel Lobby Christmas Tree

[billy]

i like it but i have one nit and it's a biggy. i think it would be better if you anthropomorphized the tree. give a sentient feeling of being alone.
as it is the poem lacks enough depth or emotion. the last stanza works as though it's the tree talking and that for me is the strongest part of the poem.

Lonesome as a Hotel Lobby Christmas Tree

Easily overlooked
among late arrivals,
early checkouts.
Lights obey a timer,
while an aged angel
is crooked, burned out,
but its halo freshly painted.

I'd like to think
you'd notice too:
stop, smile,
whisper some words
just loud enough
so you feel a little less alone.
