The Gobi Desert
Shak Chung Shan Memorial Catholic Primary School, Li Hoi Tung Audrey, Poetry: Group 2
The Gobi Desert
Under the sizzling, dazzling sun
Dehydrated
Anxious to find some liquid
Hoping there’s no more frustrating mirages.
The torrid Gobi dessert
The sand rough and prickly
From the distance
A large piece of gravel
I am small.
The desolate Gobi Desert
Uninhabited and isolated
Camels go past
On the silk road
Winding across the sand.
The apathetic Gobi Desert
Sounds are bountiful and swell,
Whirling around my ears
Just the breeze
And silence hangs in the air.
The capricious Gobi Desert
Blistering in the morning and noon
Turning swiftly without notice
Freezing and chilly in the dark night
But I am ignorant to the changes.
The great sun rises gradually
The shine irradiates the sand
A great sea of gold
Glittering with flickers of yellow
An astonishing view
Emerge in front of me.
I see the hope of this adventure
My future is bright
My ambition is clear
