Trees by gardenfolk

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

These redwoods are in our backyard but they are also across the fence in our neighbors yard as well. I think I got some of each. The sun flare was natural and not an addition.
Nice poem (makes you feel small...) and photo, of course!

@mike67 I bought a small vintage book of this poem with charming drawings. It was first printed in 1914.

Many thanks for your kind comments and favs. The redwoods make a nice privacy screen between neighbors. The squirrels love them too!

Thank you for your comments, favs and support. I can stand under these tall redwoods and feel like I am one with nature in my own backyard.
