POETRY OUT LOUD!

My poem is called trees. The relation between me and this poem starts at the title. Trees. First green is my favorite color and it basically comes from trees. I've always been a hippy in that way for some reason, for i love trees. Some thing about them just make happy.
Then then the first stanza,
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
Thats like just how amazing trees are, and you'll never see anything lovelier. I love trees i think they are totally lovely and i love how the poet, Joyce Kilmer, states that from the beginning.
And the second stanza,
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
Now this is a really weird line but if you really think about it, it means nothing more than the roots going in to the earth, just in an odd way. This reminds me of a child which is weird but like a tree one person on the earth or child, but theres so many more than just them, sucking all the nutrients from the earth like a mother feeding her child, or a tree feeding into the soil.
And the third stanza,
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
this is just like the second stanza in the way that it resembles a human.
and so on, its the true meaning and how it resembles things that i like about this poem.
Its about trees but also life, creatures.
Almost a metaphor, not quite.

For this competition i took mrs. gilmans advice in the sense of going through it and paraphrasing it just so i could really understand it. Which is going to make a major difference when I'm reciting it. Memorization as well, because there is great imagery, rhyme, and meter its easy for me to picture what the poem is talking about and then getting the beat in my head.
