| Posted By: Ms. Joyce B. Posted On: Oct 9, 2010 Views: 2170 | Trees by Joyce Kilmer Having a name shared with this great poet, it kept popping up whenever I went searching on the web. Finally, I decided to re-read this lovely poem, Trees, by Joyce Kilmer. I was brought top tears, unexpectedly, & decided to share it via e-mail, with credit to Wikipedia, of course. Thank you for prolonging the "shelflife" of both the poem & poet. The world would be a better place if minds thought poetically, I feel. And we also need to be able to give our thanks to God for creating the trees we see & use & enjoy. |
| Posted By: cj Posted On: Jan 11, 2010 Views: 2426 | wala It was great TREES by: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. |
