Analysis of Poem Trees by Joyce Kilmer
Author:
Joyce Kilmer Trees is (Alfred) Joyce Kilmer s most popular poem and was first published in the
Poetry magazine, August 1913. It was later the title poem of a book.
This entertaining, if limited, short poem of six full rhyming couplets in which the first-person speaker praises the tree and then God for making it in the first place, uses personification and ironic contrast to make its point poems will never match trees, the work of God.
Only God can make a tree, something which the speaker could never do. This is why the tree is something of a miracle, to be wondered at. A mere poem comes nowhere near a tree and the poet is a fool despite the poem being the vital link, the vehicle of acknowledgement.

According to an analysis last year from Yale and Columbia Universities the US lags behind other industrialized nations on environmental performances ranking 24th in the world. The US ranked 15th when it came to climate. It is currently the second-biggest contributor to the climate crisis, after China.
The US also witnessed numerous natural disasters last year alongside the COVID panemic. The billion dollar events weather and climate disasters across the United States shattered the previous annual record of 16 events, which occurred in 2017 and 2011. Adding the 2020 events to the record that began in 1980, the U.S. has sustained 285 weather and climate disasters where the overall damage costs reached or exceeded $1 billion.
Capitalism and labour productivity
Even non-Marxists have to admit that Marx was right. Michael Roberts looks at a newly published paper
In my view, there are two great scientific discoveries made by Marx and Engels: the materialist conception of history; and the law of value under capitalism - in particular, the existence of surplus value in capitalist accumulation.
The materialist conception of history asserts that the material conditions of a society’s mode of production and the social classes that emerge in that mode of production ultimately determine a society’s relations and ideology. As Marx said in the preface to his 1859 book
