Candy on the Gobi
Good Hope Primary School cum Kindergarten, Yeung Tsz Ying, Poetry: Group 2
Camel Candy trotting on the Gobi,
Got lost with her daddy and mummy,
She asked a golden eagle gliding past,
But it couldn’t find her parents who walked so fast.
Candy felt as frightened as a mouse,
She made loud screams and shouts,
She drank water from the oasis,
Rested near the thorny cactus.
Down the sand dunes came a marbled polecat,
“Where are my parents?”Candy eagerly said.
“Over there to the East,
I saw your parents having a feast!”
Candy trotted as was told,
Through the bitterness and cold.
Night came with a sand storm,
How she wished Mum were here to keep her warm.
Candy shivered in the cold night,
Until the dark sky became bright.
Luckily she saw her parents filled with glee,
So all of them kept trotting on the Gobi. s
