Here's the poem
Trees
by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

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.

2. Where is there an example of poetic license?
1. The rhyming scheme is aa bb cc dd i think. The metre sets the pace for the poem, and with the help of rhyming, the metre is very consistent. The metre makes the poem flow. Its organised in 2 line stanzas.
2. The poetic license is seen in the spelling. Poetic license is where the poet ignores conventional language and makes up their own rules. An example of it is in "prest." The poet means "pressed" but spells it incorrectly just so it rhymes with "breast."
