Across the Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section), Kan, Catherine - 14 I drag my luggage, Struggling like a buffoon, Through the baggage check. I push and shove through The large crowds of travellers Squeezing through the gate. I'm with my parents On a long trip to Zhuhai, For the holidays. But my mood is sour From all the crowded hassle. I let out a groan. We will soon cross the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Via shuttle bus. Once I have boarded, I sit beside the window, And stare idly out. The bus starts to move, And the trees and buildings pass. Thus, we now depart. Soon, I see the bridge. My spirits rise a little, And my face softens. The longest sea bridge, It is thirty-four miles long, An impressive feat. Meant to link us to, The Greater Bay Area, It’s a brave idea. Like a vast dragon, It snakes through the ocean haze And fades out ahead. I start to relax. My frown disappears. This trip will be fun! Though the skies are gray And the road ahead is long, There is future hope.
