What makes a poem beautiful?

Poems or poetry is beautiful because it is the art of creative expression. In essence,

poetry gives us a great tool for developing one’s self. Learning rules for writing, and then
breaking them with poetry, can give writing alternative beauty. Expressing how one
feels is difficult. I’ve found that poetry is one of the best outlets. Reading poems allows
one to see into the soul of another person, see what is weighing on their minds and on
their hearts, and can open doors to feelings that are sometimes suppressed until that
door is opened. Poetry can give you insights into yourself that you never knew existed
but always wanted to understand. There is no greater sadness than not knowing one’s
self-worth, but there is no greater power than complete understanding of one’s
identity. And I believe poetry can give you that power.

 Trees
BY JOYCE KILME R

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.
