Trees are coming alive again and Kathy Kirk is celebrating their glory! She shares, "My dad was the person who got me interested in poetry. He had a book entitled Magic Casements, compiled by George S. Carhart & Paul A. McGhee © 1931 that was filled with all sorts of poetry. He later gifted me with the book. Even as a youth, I loved trees (& brevity)...hence one of my favorite poems, still marked with a tattered piece of notebook paper is..."
TREES
I think that I shall never see
A poem as 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 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
