I am of the earth
She is my mother
She bore me with pride
She reared with me love
She cradled me each evening
She pushed the
wind to make it sing
She built me a
house of harmonious colours
She fed me the fruits[M1] of her fields
She rewarded me with memories of her smiles
She punished me with the passing of time
And at last, when
I long to leave
She will embrace me for eternity
The theme: The
cycle of life and the connection between the earth and us
Techniques:

No punctuation – indicates the
continuous nature of the cycle of life – there is no pause/end to it
o
An unrhymed free verse of 12
lines – the earth is unpredictable
o
“She” is used 10 out of the 12
beginnings
o
Personification
