The well known poem on trees by Joyce Kilmer

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.








From my perspective I would edit this brief famous poem writing "nature" (in low key) where the religious poet humbly wrote "god". 
Some grandiose words are used too frequently, suggesting a cultural habituation to simple, even childish imaginary conceptions of reality.
