Parent:Wise Austin: The Mountain

Young Laurreates: The Mountain
By Allison Carruthers, sixth grade, Canyon Ridge Middle School


I am a Mountain

I sit upon my plot of land and look down upon the rest
I am quiet and still
Hardly a sound comes from me
But the nature below me is not so,
They screech and howl and cry and whine
Oh!
What sounds they make.
Some of them,
The loudest by far,
Climb up my slopes with their
Tools and Claws
Until they have conquered my banks
And have reached my Tip
They look down upon
What I have always seen
And exclaim in Joy
For what they have achieved
And climb back down,
My treacherous slopes

With their Tools and Claws
And everything else

And I am alone yet Again,

Me
