Kilmer's poem was one my grandmom read to me as a child... It holds very special memories and you did a great job "blending" your words into yet another beloved verse! Another winner I somehow didn't review when I should have!
I've got it this time!

Hi Debi, what a lovely write
here. I cherish trees and will
only use an artificial Christmas tree. We used to live by a Christmas tree farm.
This is a definite 6 star and
stellar poem. Many blessings

Regina my lovely friend, how sweet of you to review this one. It seemed a bit of an insult to Joyce Kilmer but it sure was fun. Thank you so very much for such a kind review and comments. And as always, I sure do love you!

Wonderful enchanting lovely poem. I adore this. One of the best poems I've encountered here on Fanstory. Just love it. The metre and the rhymes are superb. This is a clever usage of a classic and it's also a brand new creation.
Bravo!

Comment from Tina Crute
This is amazing. I love the Trees poem. It is a classic! Know how sometimes you can't find the seam where material connects? That's how this poem feels, seamless. You are a great blender of words. If you are a silly fool, then so are we all. Our words are only a microscopic speck of what He can do and that's what makes this poem speak to me:)

Oh thank you Tina, you are so sweet! I love that you too love Trees by Joyce Kilmer! That's been one of my favs since 3rd grade. He was why I loved poetry! And you are one of the reasons I love being on FS! Thanks again my kind friend!

Comment from mermaids
Yes, this lady is a little different. Your use of vivid words creates a clear picture of how eccentric this lady is, like the nest of robins in her hair. Your smooth flow of rhyming words would make Kilmer proud. Congrats on winning the contest.

This is such a beautiful poem. I love the rhymes and the way it flows. I got a chuckle out of imagining the bird lady and all the characteristics you attributed to her. Nice job!

John, you are always so kind and I sure appreciate your kindness this morning more than ever. I think this review will get copied and pasted into my folder that is titled my favorite reviews. After all my friend, you just put a big smile on my face, as l was dreading therapy as it has been pretty painful, but I have now taken a couple steps with my walker. So I know it will be worth it, but thanks to you and God for sending you my way this morning!!!! You are so awesome!!

Wishing you well! Thank you, Debi.
Comment from Paul McFarland
That's pretty clever, Debi. You have chosen one of my favorite poems. I can't figure out if you are describing a bird or a person. The picture is confusing me.

Thanks Paul for the kind review and words. I really tried to explain the poem by using the title, picture of a woman with Kelp in her hair and explained about an eccentric woman who just loved to live with the birds. In order to make Joyce Kilmer's four lines fit in, it had to be a little outrageous, so it was about a woman who worshipped birds, clothed herself in kelp to attract them and the ending line was my opinion naming her a kook, but making it sound like a cockatoo, but instead I wrote kook-atoo. Most people really thought it was good, so I hope that answers your questions. Thanks again my friend!
Comment from Teri7
Debi, This is a very well written rhyming poem you have penned for the writing prompt. You used very good descriptive words, very good imagery from the art work you chose. That is really a strange lady you have written about in the notes. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, Teri

Thanks so much Teri for the very lovely review and kind words. I had to make this about a very strange lady to get those four lines in and not to keep in the theme of Trees. So she is a woman who clothes herself in kelp and worships birds, eats the bread crumbs and instead of being a cockatoo, I call her a kook-a too. Thanks again my lovely friend for reading this silly poem.
