Beautiful Shanghai
Discovery Mind Primary School, Tomcsanyi, Julia - 9
The boats swish on the water,
Under the old bridge,
Where you are going the clock clicks its tongue,
It is as decorated as a poster.
It is a mix of old and new.
Shanghai is colorful as birds.
Orientation was confused,
Water as green as leaves,
It is as loud as a crying kid,
Preparation for a holiday in Shanghai.
Shanghai as red and yellow as paint,
Some building as old as an ancient temple,
You need adaption,
Shanghai is a compilation,
Everything is new,
Shanghai is proud.
The boat whistled,
Shanghai is a bird,
Shanghai is a poster
And it is a beautiful city.
