No poem can be "lovely as a tree"

in #hive-1244522 years ago

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.

If you can pick a flower to show today, what would it be?


Aren't all flowers pretty?

Beautiful poem. We fools can make poems or write, but only God can make a poem as beautiful as a tree. And trees are beautiful, they give shelter, shade and food.

Exactly! It's a simple yet beautiful and meaningful poem!

My Contractor just advised me that I need to cut back the branches of my tree to install a new line prior to the Breaker panel upgrade. Another $600, I can't find a poem to best describe how I feel.

Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

I think that Joyce Kilmer said it best! Is there anything as lovely as a tree? On #TreeTuesday? I think not!

Unless it is in the beauty of a flower. #alwaysaflower

I picked roses today! They are pink and pretty and in abundance!

Happy Tuesday!

I learned that poem at 6 or 7 years old, and I never forgot it. When I become old and grey I would still remember that poem!
Ah... beautiful roses! Pink is my favorite color.

My Double Delight is taking a beating from the extreme heat... today it is going to be 115 degrees mid-day!

Yes ! The flowers ARE pretty ! Such a deep velvety red.

I remember that poem from way back. Through time it has crossed my mind now and then, but only the first sentence. 😄

Trees are grand, that is for sure... and fascinating.

This is for sure a great tree. And all trees are great :). In our neighbourhood we are the only one with a massive tree. I love it.

Wow, it must be grand to have a massive tree!!!
Our neighborhood has "heritage trees", which are antique trees.
That too is awesome!

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
