For your reading enjoyment

For your reading enjoyment, here's one of my favorite poems:


TREES
By Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's 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.

I really do love this poem-it keeps me humble.

I like that poem!!! It's awesome how it compares poems to trees. we can make poems, but only God can make trees and so trees are therefore better! I loved it!!!! Thanks for sharing! :)
