Trees

Kilmer's writing style is so simple and it make me more nature friendly

Sublimely beautiful and so simple... real elegance with words. No wonder she's a master!

So simple, so beautiful. I'm not really a nature man but I'll tip my hat next time I pass a tree.

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; Great!

Sorry Tony K. but Joyce Kilmer is not a she!

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.---Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.----What a great poem! Nature is incomparable! However man try, man can never create anything as beautiful as Nature does.

Lovely poem. Thanks Rajnish Manga for leading me to the 'trees" . You here that poets...poets are fools. If a poet be a fool then let the muse play on. Great poem.

Great commentary on the material progress made by man which has cost him so dearly. This is probably the most popular poem of Joyce Kilmer. I would like to translate it into Hindi.

Nothing more could have been expressed in in applauding mother nature the tree...so benevolent, figure of a monk.......here tree is the epitome. " A tree that looks at God all day/And lifts her leafy arms to pray. A great poem.

My mother use to quote this poem about a tree just to aggravate me when I was little. It would make me mad and she would laugh about it. She only went to 8th grade back in 40's. i guess she had to memorize it for an assignment for school. She got married at 15 and had me at age of 16. She grew up with 5 kids before age 21. Now I see the poem as a lovely poem.
