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.
By Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918), an American poet from New Brunswick, NJ
This is my favourite poem. I think that the poet is telling the truth. My favourite verses are the first and the last one. He thinks that a tree is a rare creature. John Markou
I was impressed by the fact that the poet had five children. By the way, I don't think that poems are made by fools. Andreas Sotiralis
The poem Trees is amazing! My favourite verse is "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree." I like this poem because I like nature. Melina Sotirali
