WW: Trees Poem by Joyce Kilmer

Trees Poem by Joyce Kilmer


"I Think That I Shall Never See
A Poem Lovely as a Tree.
Poems Were Made By Fools Like Me,
But Only God Can Make A Tree"
- Trees by Joyce Kilmer

The sculptures and stone signs at Brookgreen Gardens, SC are stunning.

    In NC there is the Joyce Kilmer forest and they have this poem on a plaque as well beside a very large tree. I don't recall what kind, but it's rather big. I would have to think it's a oak, but I can't swear to that. Anyhow, this is great. Thanks for sharing & hosting!

    Trees for some reason scare me to death. Not the regular yard trees, but the huge fallen ones. I can't walk anywhere near them. I'm so strange.

    Beautiful photo--and I love the poem. When I was in elementary school, we had to memorize that one. Thanks for sharing and thanks for hosting!

Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.
