An American poet of highly colloquial significance. He brings my back to my hometown Suffern, New York and makes me feel like a teenie in a rock band in the 60ties.
My mother used to sing the sing from Joyce Kilmer's Trees, That was almost 70 years ago. With the windows open in summer, her voice carried throughout our yard. It was a happy time, one in which i go back to many times. Thank You!
Sheila Ford....this photo of trees hung by front door since I was Bout 8 years old. I thought. That was the prettiest poem i had ever heard. I quickly memorized the poem as I ha, rd at the picture of the trees. I was in 💘love!
Kilmer is considered among the last of the Romantic era poets because his verse is conservative and traditional in style and does not break any of the formal rules of poetics—a style often criticized today for being too sentimental to be taken seriously

Joyce Kilmer has long been one of my favorite poets. I'll never forget the poem, Trees. Learned it by heart, and use to quote it all the time. I still quote it sometimes.
reminds me of childhood...and God is definitely wonderful making a tree and humans can make a so good poem like this...
CONGRATULATIONS for the family of the late great poet JOYCE KILMER to be chosen as The Poet Of The Day.
