Zheng He
Korean International School, Lee, Alistair - 11
Zheng He sails around the world
Trades and sails with lots of treasure
People worship him like a god
And he works as a fleet commander
The waves crashes into the voyagers
Zheng He has the biggest ships of all,
Scaring pirates away was a piece of cake
Zheng He
Korean International School, Ng, Ian - 10
Splash went the waves,
As the sea misbehaved.
Zheng He being a slave,
As a servant he behaved.
While they sailed for gold,
Which could be sold.
They sailed to the ocean blue,
And the pirates shouted ¨Boo!”
Sailing the Sea
Korean International School, Ng, Sherry - 10
Sailing across the empty sea
A brave admiral led his crew
His name was Zheng He
They saw a small island
Where no one lived
When he took a step on the island it shook and rattled
Every step he took lit up the plants
The trees sang, flowers hummed
The Island was beautiful
When he left, everything was gone
He sailed across the dangerous sea
He never gave up
He forged for treasure
jade, emeralds, gold
Priceless things
Stars guided the way
They twinkled as he sailed through the night sky
