I would like to share the most memorable poem I ever heard with all here at poets of g exlib:
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 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 ***** snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
