The majestic Gobi Desert
St. Mary’s Canossian College, Karina Cheung, Poetry: Group 3
Africa has Sahara, Australia has Gibson,
Middle East has Arabian Desert, Asia has Gobi!
Mongols are living in Gobi,
it lies in southern Mongolia,
and parts of northern and northwestern China;
Gobi is a distinctly fabulous area of the planet!
Not only the fifth largest in the world,
Gobi is the most expansive arid region on the Asian continent,
since it only get seven inches rainfall in a year;
Gobi continues to grow,
the rapid growing speed like an alarm to his neighbours,
losing the valuable grassland is a nightmare!
There is cold, sometimes frost and even snow,
in order to keeping warm,
the dunes of Gobi can wear their caps;
Under a massive cloudy Gobi sky,
standing alone in the open Gobi Desert;
Surrounding by the cloudy sky, distant mountains,
grass and the gravely surface;
seems you can breathe freely with them ...
Over forty-five species of animals and birds live there,
Golden eagles, snow leopards, camels,
brown bears and gazelles!
Be an archaeologist,
there is a land surface where buried a rich and mystery history,
besides the important fossil discoveries,
the first set of dinosaur eggs to be discovered
were found in the Gobi Desert!
If you feel bored,
the cashmere goats can be your friends,
their fine hair give warm feeling to you,
and their strong character also show the bravery
since they are the warriors who need to fight with the harsh climate!
If you feel thirsty,
there is a small oasis on the northern edge;
