Have you ever read a poem as beautiful as a tree?


Joyce Kilmer wrote a poem in 1913, and he insisted that there cannot be anything that can match-up to the loveliness of a tree.


Trees gaze at the heavens night and day, and their branches and leaves seem to pray unceasingly.


It is intimate with the elements... the snow and rain. Birds build their nests in trees that are like crowns. And it nourishes itself by simply feeding from the earth!


No art that man makes can compare even the simple beauty of a tree! Joyce Kilmer says poetry is not able to capture the true beauty of nature. No poem can be “lovely as a tree.”


TREES
by Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
a poem as 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.

Aren't all flowers pretty?
