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!

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! 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.

Rica Jewels will email you within 24 hours with instructions on how to claim your prize. The winds of March are making me wonder why I haven't learned to properly braid my hair yet. Not only would my tresses get less tangled, but there are so many pretty patterns available online now. The only braid style I ever mastered was how to make friendship bracelets back in the 1980s. Daniela of Rica Jewels offers a much more intricate braided bracelet called the Kusma Bracelet. The mixed metal bracelet is made with silver, bronze and copper. The beautiful bracelet is 7" long and 0.4" width and can be bent gently on the edges to better fit the winner's wrist. Yes, you read that right. Daniela's giving the above bracelet away to one of my readers! Rica Jewels has several marvelous metal and beaded bracelets for sale. Daniela received a bachelor’s degree in ...
