Shanghai
Discovery Mind Primary School, Lamb, Alisha - 10
The lights as bright as the sun.
Forbidden ancient brick walls,
Weird shaped roofs in a scaly pattern,
Boats were walking in water.
A big river was a green monster.
Astonishing tall buildings,
Cloudy blue dark sky as beautiful as a flower.
The bridges reflection was an eye.
Red lanterns are as red as an apple,
Grey buses as still as a pole.
Amazing human beings making the world busy.
Silent rooms, noisy rooms !
Working all day ,sleeping all day.
Rusty houses and dusty houses.
Crawling little louse,
A beautiful flawless city living it’s life.
Shanghai Poem
Discovery Mind Primary School, Lamb, Harry - 10
Buildings are bright,
Every night,
Children are playing,
Dogs are playing
Boats are going by,
Under the bright sky,
Lots of construction,
Also destruction.
Going on bikes,
Also on hikes,
Lots of brick walls,
There’s no big malls.
