No Poem Lovely As A Tree Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

No Poem Lovely As A Tree

Rating: 5.0


O coniferous evergreen redwood,
World's tallest tree
And ever so good,
That wears greens all thru the year,
And never found leafless nude,
A towering sage as if in solitude
In the midst of crowded woods,
And towering hundreds of feet
In sky, on way clouds to meet,
What a sage art thou sans peer
That unlike an Indian seer
Living hundreds of years,
Ye span two millennia of years!

O Redwood of tallest stem,
I prefer the name greenwood,
Ye remind me of Joyce Kilmer's poem:
I think that
I shall never see a poem
Lovely as a tree!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Not only just redwood or greenwood, there are many trees that live even longer, hundreds of years as they say to grow, hundreds more to live, and yet hundreds more to die! Trees are a poem writ by nature, and obviously there can't be a poem (man-made)as lovely as a tree, you are right poet Joyce Kilmer.

Evergreen trees survive amidst extreme climates. i see them green even in the coldest months where they are blanketed by snowflakes. Yes, no poem could be as lovely as a tree yet this poem has it's own loveliness as we can see.
