The Figurative Tree
Frost and horse stopped by the woods
Kilmer wrote of God and trees
Nash would spoof with billboard trash
Yet trees figured first in Genesis.
In the garden of Eden
trees abounded all but two -
One the tree of life and then
the tree of knowledge, good and evil
March 9, 2022
My first attempt at the Lind30SU form
on the use of trees in literature.
with appreciation to Robert Frost, Stopping by the Woods;
Joyce Kilmer, Trees; Ogden Nash, I Think I Shall Never
See a Billboard Lovely as a Tree and Moses, Genesis.
