The Gobi Desert
Diocesan Boys’ School Primary Division, Marcus Du, Poetry: Group 2
A vast, dry desert
Teeming with energetic life
Swathed in the green of cacti and the gold of sand
A tapestry of colour
The Bactrian camel
Grazing on luscious green cacti nodes
As if the desert was a buffet
But difficult for humans
The Black-tailed Gazelle
Grazing on the weeds with vigor
As if they would morph suddenly
Into brilliant green grass
Oh, Gobi desert
You sustain life
So I ask you this question
“Why be so discerning?”
