Analysis of Lady Poet



First there is a mountain
Then there is a tree
On the top of the mountain
Stands a lady poet

First there is the sea
Rushing past our shores
Then there is the wind
Swirling around our ears

Once there was a mountain
Then there was a house
On top of the mountain
Writes the Lady Poet in verse
