You poem it lovely and your picture is unique and good photography and you're still thinking romantic thought about women or at least your own woman. Once again, you are responsible for my new fact of the day I've learned. I memorized that poem as a kid. I my mother used to quote it too me but all thes years, I thought Joyce Kilmer was a lady. All the Joyces I've ever known were female. Not quite as bad as being named Sue but ....
Anyway I looked him up and found him listed as a Catholic poem. I found that unusual too because he put the religion of a poet in the heading? Thanks of my fact of the day.

I thought the same things for years, and then was shell-shocked to find, as you did, his gender was not as I presumed. I wonder how he would fit in today's woke world?

Come back anytime and you'll likely find me to be as demented as Jekyll and as mysterious as Hyde. I always have danced to a different beat, like Elaine on Seinfeld. ha-ha
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very nice.
Modest, yet it allows me to exercise my imagination, or others to not.
Nice rhyming and rhythm. Good work.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the drop by. Be well and have someone tuck you in tonight, since I can't be there to show my appreciation.
Comment from Begin Again
Trees are lovely, especially in the fall when their foliage turns so many colors, but I agree, it can not compare to a woman that a man loves. Maybe he'd lost his vision? Well done!

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Love Poem Poetry contest. Loved the comparison to the famous poem on trees and especially the final line which brought it all together. I did possibly see two minor typos. Easy fixes.
Now, I think Mr. Kilmer had grant thoughts, (Did you mean grand?)
So, when Cupid drew backs its bow (BACK)
Great job. Very enjoyable.

Thank you, and I had already caught the mistakes you found after I released it. Thanks for caring.
