The famous poem “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer is a lyrical poem focused on nature, in which God created. In this poem a tree is used to emphasize how the works of men are incomparable with the works of God. This poem is a proclamation of the omnipresence and omnipotence of God. A rhyme scheme is used in this short but well expressed couplet aabbccdd. Personification is often used frequently throughout the poem to make it evident to readers that God's creation of nature is living. For example, in stanza 2, Kilmer says, “A tree whose hungry mouth is lent against the sweet flowing breast of the earth,” verifies that nature works hand in hand for survival and life. Seasonal changes that we as readers can relate to, such as summer, winter, and spring, are emphasized to express that a tree continues to exist over time. The parallelism in lines 3,5 and 7 has the repetition of the words “A Tree”. This emphasizes that a tree has a purpose and has meaning for everything around it. The poem changes in the last stanza where Kilmer says, "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree." This is a verse that shows that Kilmer appreciates God's creation and that he knows that God is omnipotent. “Trees” is a poem that gives God full glory. Kilmer calls humans “crazy” because man-made art is just art. It is not living and functioning as the beautiful art of God's nature. Poetry is a proclamation that God exists. God is seen in nature. In the poem Kilmer says, “A tree that looks at God all day.” This statement declares that nature is a reflection of God and when humans look around, it can remind them that God is everywhere and is true. A tree can also reflect on God's creation of men. Wh...... middle of paper...... - Thousands of poems and poets.. Poetry search engine. Network. 04 January 2012.
