Analysis of Posh
I am the earth and you are the sky,
You are the lid to cover the secret.
I am like an extraordinary dish while you are the special guest to savour it
Pretty posies I make for you,
Come and enjoy my pomegranate bloom
The Potter(God) made different types of clay pots with immaculate designs and shapes
Some turned out less perfectly shaped
Come and enjoy my pomegranate bloom
Pretty posies I make for you,
Come and enjoy my pomegranate bloom)
