The story of my voyage
Korean International School, Ismail, Adam - 12
I woke up in the morning scrubbing the deck
I stayed up all night massaging the captain’s neck
The next day I saw pirates and we annihilated their ship
The day after we discovered gold and bring to people in need by ship
Then we distribute it to people in need
Then we went to a shop and bought a steed
We travel around the globe and discover new lands
We named the lands :India, Africa and Arabia but not Iceland
Our boat rode through tidal waves and storms
Our kindness allowed the people in need to buy dorms
Today I am slave, but I won’t give up
One day I will have enough credit to be the next Captain, but till then I will not give up
Enchanted Adventures
Korean International School, Lam, Kai Yee Claudia - 14
“All hands hoay!” Captain said,
Stepping on the deck.
A parrot on his shoulder,
Sailing across the border;
Carrying the cargoes of silk and gold,
To our mighty Emperor.
The seagoing life is not good for every man,
Walking the plank, storms and rickets.
It takes a day,
And ends in the opposite way.
How far will we go on?
As far as it takes,
My heart is a compass that shows the way.
Captain turns his head,
Looks up at me with those mysterious eyes;
I couldn’t stop being panicking I cried.
Finally down the ocean,
In the land we give out wonderful presents;
Making new relationship,
With countries we fancy.
Dealing with nasty pirates across the sea,
Our mighty crew will not lose which we guarantee.
For our crew will not end,
With the souls of our thousand men.
