That'S WhY
A leaf fell down from the tree
It was nearer to the ground and free
The shrewd November wind caught it at last
However it wasn't ready to defend
That's the reason why I cried.
It was raining cats and dogs
But she was standing on the pavement in repose
Hoping for money,waiting for nobody
Selling some daisy,she was trying to survive
That's the reason why I cried cried...

Hello Dj This line sounds a little strange: <However it wasn't ready to defend > – what was the meaning you wanted to convey? In this line, I wonder whether you meant some other flower: <Selling some daisy> It would be unusual to sell daisies in the street; though one might sell chrysanthemums, which are members of the daisy family. See you, MrP

Hi Mr Pedantic,
I wanted to mean that it wasn't ready to defend itself against the strong wind of september..It didn't take precautions to be able to survive..I suppose I was looking through a window that opened to an abstract world as I was writing that poem..Cos in fact it is impossible for a leaf to take precautions

Ah! In that case, 'defend' would need an object ('itself', I suppose).
I'd admire anyone who could sell daisies to the public. But perhaps all it needs is a little clever marketing...
