I Sat Belonely

By John Lennon



I sat belonely down a tree,
humbled fat and small.
A little lady sing to me
I couldn't see at all.

I'm looking up and at the sky,
to find such wonderous voice.
Puzzly, puzzle, wonder why,
I hear but I have no choice.

'Speak up, come forth, you ravel me',
I potty menthol shout.
'I know you hiddy by this tree'.
But still she won't come out.

Such sofly singing lulled me sleep,
an hour or two or so
I wakeny slow and took a peep
and still no lady show.

Then suddy on a little twig
I thought I see a sight,
A tiny little tiny pig,
that sing with all it's might

 'I thought you were a lady',
I giggle, - well I may,
To my surprise the lady,
got up - and flew away.

Analysis: 
This poem is about a boy who heard a lay singing while he was sitting by a tree, but it turned out to be a tiny pig. The theme could be that something great can come from any shape or form.

This poem is made up of six quatrains, each with the rhyme scheme ABAB.

Poetic devices:

Line 13: Alliteration - "Such softly singing lulled me to sleep"
Line 19: Assonance/Consonance - "A tiny little tiny pig"
Line 22: Caesura - "I giggle, - well I may"
Line 24: Caesura - "Got up - and flew away"
