She would be

the elf on the tree

Adumbrated story

She was fatigued of fatuous family members

Nudiustertian past prattled

Draping leafy gown gazed at branch limbs

She longed for some serendipitous opportunity to sweep her from the tree

But her high hopes rose no higher than an ant hill after a storm

She suffered from a mad touch of kakorrhaphiophobia

and because of this, was in a particular state of paralyzed procrastination

surreal poetry
