Position:Home>Poetry> Can any one put my poem in the right form?


Question:I'm not very good at this so I need some help. a young girl i know is in 5th grade and wrote this and she doesn't know how to put it in the right form. Can anyone put this poem into the correct form just as a simple plain poem. Ok so here it is...

Its called This Big Old Tree

Up in this big old tree is my favorite place to be you see. These leaves are forever changing like a camillion in the sand. They glide down for the winter and grow back in time for spring. Sometimes I like to sit up high and listen to the birds sing. I'm climbing up the tree and I can smell the cool damp air. Theres water slipping off the leaves and right into my hair.The wind is a fresh breeze of soft whispering air. It's raining really hard now and Its coming down with power. Maybe I'll just stay inside for a couple hours.
THE END

Up in this big old tree is my favorite place to be.
You see,
The leaves that touch my hand are forever changing;
Like a chameleon in the sand.
They glide down for the winter, grow back in time for spring.
Sometimes I like to sit up high and listen to birds sing.
Climbing up the tree I can smell the cool damp air.
The wind is a fresh breeze whispering softly with care.
There's water slipping off the leaves right into my hair.
It's raining really hard now, drops coming down with power.
Maybe I'll go inside and enjoy the view of this big old tree for a couple hours.


I changed a couple words and the order just to get the rhythm right.

I think it sounds a little better now :)

put them in just lines. after every sentence, go to a new line. if ur writng it down, u could place the words -in an artistic fashion, of course- place the lines in the shape of a tree. (personally, i would go with the lines.) go w/ stanzas, ig u wanna extend the poem...
nice feel to it, by the way. *o*

leave out the ,it's, ands, the, look at this 4 example, everybody's different, so this is how i would put it, big old tree, favorite be changing camillion, falling leaves, winter, back in spring, listening bird songs,sings, climbing, water slipping off leaves, cool, smell air breeze, damp hair, cool wind, fresh whispering power, rain i feel,
