Trees and Art

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




Added this to the tree Monday :)


Tree Proverb: Do not be afraid to go out on a limb ... That's where the fruit is. (Anonymous)Tree Joke: How do trees get on the Internet? They LOG in.

ART STUFF: I am so NOT MOTIVATED, grrrr,gnashing teeth! I think I just want to PLAY! YES! will clear out studio and prepare to PLAY!

If you want to see some cool links about the exciting things happening in the knitting world and some of the questions or comments I have heard regarding tree sweaters visit the jafagirls yarnbombing page.

What a beautiful poem.

The problem I find with motivation is that I always feel it at the wrong time! Then by the time I'm free to do what I like, it's gone!

Hey I like the new banner. I'm glad you posted that poem. I've only heard the first two lines of it over the decades. Now I know who wrote it. Hope you are feeling inspired soon!

The tree is really coming along. I bet it gets alot of comments. It is a Jafagirls project right? I think "Jafagirls" needs to be knitted into it somewhere.

I have always loved this poem, since I first heard it. There is a restaurant I went to in Chicago that years ago had a Joyce Kilmer dining room, walls painted with...trees!

That tree sweater is amazing! Love it. That tree looks cozy and fashionable now.

Here's one for you: What's brown and sticky?
(A stick!)
