The Gobi Desert
St. Paul’s Co-educational College Primary School, Emma Yang, Poetry: Group 2
Stretching across two countries,
a huge plain of golden sand
topped with snow,
snowy snow.
Lying below the snow-capped sand,
a creature, ferocious that is,
making people shiver,
evoking shiver.
Bloodcurdling,
a horrendous scene.
It is - the Mongolian worm,
the Mongolian death worm.
Touching it slightly,
with a little finger,
means you’re dead,
instantly dead.
Crawling on the sand,
with fresh-blood colored skin,
leaving goo,
poisonous goo.
Spitting venom, discharging electricity,
killing everything,
both ways
and along the way.
Showing no visible eyes,
no visible mouth,
freaking out,
freaking mortals out.
Trudging through
the treacherous sand,
a young man -
a muscular man.
