Tree Edited and Unedited


Edited
I live in solitary,
No one sees me
I sway in a breeze but shake in a gust
When I shed, my leaves changes colour
My leaves are gone by the cold season
I wait quiet and lonely
When the cold season is over my leaves grow back
The little ones make nests in my branches
By the hot days I sit quietly
In the cold nights I wait
Waiting... for a friend a hope, faith, anything.


As I looked at this poem below, I realised that not only did it have a lot of spelling errors but also it didn't capture the true meaning of being lonely and lost.So I looked at it made some quick changes and got the,to me, the beautiful poem you see above.

I live in solitary,
No one sees meI sway in a breeze but shake in a gust
When I shed, my leaves changes colour
My leaves are gone by the cold season
I wait quiet , lonely,and bored
When the cold seaason is over my leaves grow back
The little ones make nests in my branches
By the hot days I sit queietly
In the cold nights I waitWaiting,
for a friend a hope, faith, anything.
