Fantasy Shoe Day again

I think that giant woman who left the big red pointy shoe has been around again.
We men are feeling a little insecure....

Fantasy Shoe Day......Revisited.

For a friend who's in need of a laugh.
In fact, for anyone who's being screwed about by the their once significant other.

In These Shoes?


A song, by the late, greatly talented, sorely missed, Kirsty Mc Coll

Fantasy Shoe Day.

Trees -Joyce Kilmer. 1886–1918

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's 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.


My comment on this....
Starts well.
That first couplet is great. Then...... Yawn
The rest is a big disappointment. I must read some more by Kilmer, see if that couplet was a lone flash of greatness.
Ogden Nash took it, re-used it.
And did a far better job.

Addendum: Dec 27th 2007.
I get a lot of visitors here, who have googled kilmer+tree.
So let's have a clear statement from me, unequivocal.
"I think Kilmer's verse is globally mediocre. Stop studying it, it's not worth the effort."
You Kilmer searchers never leave comments. So I suppose you agree with me.

Song of the Open Road -Ogden Nash 1902-1971

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all.

Ogden Nash
