I believe that you are referring to Joyce Kilmer's appropriately
titled poem "Trees".

You may find it at both reference 1 and 2 (see the bottom of the
answer for references).

Let me know if this is the poem that you are referring to.

Best Regards,

Ogden Nash has a hilarious parody of this.

Just for fun --

Columbia University's Philolexian Society has an annual event called
the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Bad Poetry Contest. It's in NYC, most likely
some time in November. Their site doesn't list the exact date for this
year's event, but here are two links that might shed some light:
