My mum used to sing this poem as she did the housework.
When she visited her sister,both would sing it as a duet
round the piano.
As a boy it made me think about the wonder of God's creation. Now I know
the wonder of His salvation.
Thank you mum.

During my high school days, the poem that was written by Joyce Kilmer is
very nice and excellent. For me, trees serve as the lungs of our planet.
Trees also provide cooling shade, block cold winds, attract birds and
wildlife, purify our air, prevent soil erosion, clean our water, and add
grace and beauty to our surroundings and communities. To improve health and
harmony with nature all citizens in the world must plan trees, a
tree-growing and tree-caring activities are part of civic duty of every
citizen to help in the global challenge to combat climate change and global
warning.

I read the poem " Trees" in my English literature textbook when I was in
junior high. I came across it again when in Music lesson we sang a song
the lyric of which is this poem. All the time, I thought the poem is the
work of Henry Wordsworth Longfellow until a few days ago when I learned
from the TV news that a library in New Brunswick , NJ, was dedicated to
Kilmer, who is the author for this famous poem.

I am caring for my 94 year old grandmother, who has alzheimers dementia,
and when she looks out my window at a lovely weeping pepper tree, she
begins reciting parts of your poem. She wasn't able to recall of the words,
so thru a search a found this lovely poem. It isn't much, but to her, it
makes her day, everyday.

I had always that it was a beautiful poem. But I had an English professor
who said that it was a bad poem. She had picked it apart piece by piece
and pointed out all of the flaws. For instance, she pointed out how
ridiculous it was to imagine the Earth having a breast. But I believe you
shouldn't coldly analyze poetry piece by piece. You should let the poetry
take control of your emotions and let it run wild. Then you will feel what
the poet intends you to feel.

I am a University student asked to anaysises "Trees" in relataion to an
essay saying it was a 'bad' poem. Personally, i think it is beautiful and
the words flow as easily and as gently as the wind blowing through a tree.
