A collection of my favorite Poet Tree...

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

~Henry David Thoreau

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples..."

~ John Muir

"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!"

~John Muir

"There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it."

~Minnie Aumonier

"Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven."

~Rabindranath Tagore, Fireflies, 1928

"I think that I shall never see


A poem lovely as a tree.


A tree whose hungry mouth is prest


Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;


A tree that looks at God all day


And lifts her leafy arms to pray;


A tree that may in Summer wear


A nest of robins in her hair;


Upon whose bosom snow has lain;


Who intimately lives with rain.


Poems are made by fools like me,


But only God can make a tree."

~Joyce Kilmer, "Trees," 1914
