Herb..... That is a good poem. Well done.
All of my antennas are now wires in trees. Trees are good.
I may reprint that poem in fancy type and hang it on my wall.

Subject: Topband: Trees And RF Poem
With some credit to Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) "Trees" I ad the following:
I think that I shall never see
A metal tower as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose is high at least
For antennas to break the pile up beast
A tree that looks out for hams all day
working DX for which they pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
Many wires in the air;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Without reducing my antenna gain.
Such poems are made by fools like me,
But only hams know how to use a tree.
Cheers,
Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ
P.S. My name in German means "Beautiful Tree".....the "bohm" is the same
as "baum" in NE Germany so I just could not resist.
