Study of a Blue Spruce

A tall, majestic tree
standing twice as tall
as any other
in my yard.
Many a ball 
has been lost 
beneath its wide-flung
branches.
It is a pine tree
archetypal Christmas sort
in all but 
one thing.
On the tip of each branch,
the green needles
are frosted 
a minty wintergreen.

A coating different, but not preferable
to winter’s snowy white.
