Sunday is a good day to reminisce don't you think?

I've always loved this poem and song:

TREES

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.
--Joyce Kilmer(1886-1918)

I like the idea of illustrating my poetry or other writing myself but posting pressures tend to put paid to that. Joyce Kilmer's poem is a delight isn't it?

Very interesting blog--and haiku post. I'm visiting from Rebecca's site and I think haiku must be part of your own paradise.

I like the idea of making a poem of thoughts. When my mind won't rest, late at night, perhaps the gentle persuasion of poetic ordering will finally lull me to sleep.

I remember having to memorize that poem in the fifth or sixth grade. Do kids still do that I wonder

steady rain beats out a poem
