The Lonesome Leopard
Tsung Tsin Primary School and Kindergarten, Kwan Lik-Fung, Nathan, Poetry: Group 1
High on the barren creeks of the Gobi’s rock,
Where the lonesome snow leopard rests on the log,
Curling up in its black spotted fur with its head looking up high,
The beam of the moon shines on its snow-white belly like neon light,
Gazing at the starry sky in its black marble eyes,
The quiet leopard waits for its prey at the still of the night.
