One poem that is well remembered by many is Joyce Kilmer's TREES. Remember these lines?  “I think that I shall never see/ A poem lovely as a tree./A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed/ 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.”
