Analysis of Poem Trees by Joyce Kilmer
Author:
Joyce Kilmer Trees is (Alfred) Joyce Kilmer s most popular poem and was first published in the
Poetry magazine, August 1913. It was later the title poem of a book.
This entertaining, if limited, short poem of six full rhyming couplets in which the first-person speaker praises the tree and then God for making it in the first place, uses personification and ironic contrast to make its point poems will never match trees, the work of God.
Only God can make a tree, something which the speaker could never do. This is why the tree is something of a miracle, to be wondered at. A mere poem comes nowhere near a tree and the poet is a fool despite the poem being the vital link, the vehicle of acknowledgement.

Two symbolic cardboard trees were “planted” Saturday as part of an Earth Day ceremony held by the Alliance for Compassion and Truth (ACT). This fall, actual White Oak and Tulip Poplar Trees donated by ACT will be planted in the westside lawn of the Clinton County History Center in Wilmington. Fall is a better time of year to plant the trees, and in coming seasons they will enhance the townscape at that downtown location. There were a number of speakers, including Rick Stanforth, Elaine Silverstrim, Mary Thomas Watts, Clinton County Historical Society Board of Trustees President Suzanne Madison, and Historical Society Executive Director Shelby Boatman. Pictured are ACT members, the guest speakers, interested residents, and historical society representatives.
