For The Second Time in Two Years I Give You One of my Favourite 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 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.
Do you feel the power @lellabird60?

Well done!
Amazing capture! I have this treehugging photo too :) It is from a botanical garden in Tenerife, Spain. Oh man I love trees :)
This is me in Tenerife last year.
Woow! Nice :) Is that the oldest dragon tree in Icod de los Vinos?
Exactly!
Beautiful poems and a great photo and this tree looks amazing! Thanks @kus-knee
Thanks!
HUUUUGE !! Love it!
Is it a London Plane tree or American Sycamore(aka buttonwood)? They are very similar but the London Plane tree is a hybrid of the sycamore and Oriental Plane....I think... I'm always confused about it...
It is a plane tree in Lugano Switzerland. I should try and find out what variety it is.
I've always loved that poem thank you my friend for sharing. Trees represent so much that God tries to tell us through nature. Again thanks @kus-knee
So true!
Yes! Indeed! Let us tree huggers unite and spread the appreciation of our woody friends! That certainly is a mammoth one she is hugging! It would take quite a few people to hold hands around that trunk!
Yes let's unite!
Remember learning that poem in school. :-)
