'I think that I shall never see <br />a poem as lovely as a tree'? <br />'Poems are made by fools like me <br />but only God can make a tree'? <br />Clever words for on a 'fridge <br />has Joyce Kilmer ever been to Garden Ridge? <br />I see trees there...kinda made of wood <br />but plastic leaves...they don't look so good. <br /> <br />At first I was fooled...maybe like a mirage <br />but no...this was made in someone's garage <br />Representative i guess of the world today <br />the lifestyle we live...and what we portray <br />A 'fast lane' culture...full of shortcuts <br />the tree is fake like so many of us <br />We want things now...why should we wait? <br />Make it happen...forget about fate <br /> <br />Joyce Kilmer's poem was simple and pure <br />Straight to the point...he was so sure <br />Who could argue his logic and verse? <br />He was second...his creator was first <br />His poem withstands the test of time <br />and it motivated me to write this rhyme <br />So poets unite...take your chances please <br />Joyce Kilmer never counted on plastic trees.<br /><br />maggie signaigo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/plastic-trees/
