Trees by #JoyceKilmer.

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.

I tried to get the whole #tree at #JoyceKilmer Memorial Forest in one picture, using a #Panorama turned on its side. That bulge on the right of the trunk isn't really there. 😂

The special #trees in the #JoyceKilmer Memorial Forest, while not rivaling CA’s #redwoods or #sequoias, are huge for this state, and approx 400-450 years old. Surprisingly, they are #TulipPoplars and the trunks are easily 6’ in diameter. Many, unfortunately, are beginning to fall.
