WW: Trees Poem by Joyce Kilmer

Trees Poem by Joyce Kilmer


"I Think That I Shall Never See
A Poem Lovely as a Tree.
Poems Were Made By Fools Like Me,
But Only God Can Make A Tree"
- Trees by Joyce Kilmer

The sculptures and stone signs at Brookgreen Gardens, SC are stunning.

    In NC there is the Joyce Kilmer forest and they have this poem on a plaque as well beside a very large tree. I don't recall what kind, but it's rather big. I would have to think it's a oak, but I can't swear to that. Anyhow, this is great. Thanks for sharing & hosting!

    Trees for some reason scare me to death. Not the regular yard trees, but the huge fallen ones. I can't walk anywhere near them. I'm so strange.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
