The Gobi Desert
Good Hope Primary School cum Kindergarten, Yu Tessie E, Poetry: Group 2
In a part of the wonderful world,
Lives the “Waterless Place”- The Gobi Desert
A waterless place
Being world number five.
Cactuses are everywhere, but-
Desertification comes,
Expanding because of human activities.
Fossils are found,
Gold and copper too.
Has also been once
Important to the Mongol Empire.
Jean-François Gerbillon is one of the explorers,
Katsnakov too, discovered a lot
Living things are there to be found, black-tailed gazelles, Bactrian camels, golden eagles
brown bears,
Marbled polecats, Mongolian wild ass and sandplovers. Snow leopards, and wolves
Never too hot or too cold to them
Or maybe some other,
Plants are another ‘one of a kind’ genius,
Quit drinking,
Remain small and short,
Shrubs, gray sparrow’s saltwort, gray sagebrush, needle grass and bridle grass
To survive in the harsh weathers, climates
Under the sunlight, evaporating the water
Vapor.
Will all of you, my friends, protect the desert.
Let’s protect our World, stop harming the environment!
