i am a tree
November 29, 2012
i am carved from leaves to roots
scarred, making memories
every season the leaves change
colorful and bright to dark adn nothing
red to green, orange to yellow, purple to brown then gone
changing year around
breaking away my imperfecsious limbs to make new
sprouting out to make me known
shaking all about like dancing in the rain
loving children play and smile
while climbing my branches to pluck the prettiest leaf
leafs fall like sprinkles onto cake
my dream is to become a new beautifully built home

I really got where you were coming from, and I liked the idea behind the poem. But there are a lot of grammer and spelling mistakes that sort of take away from the poem. Next time, before you submit, maybe running a spell/grammer check on the piece would help. Hope I helped!
