LITTLE GEM AWARD WINNING POEMS

Global Winner: Chun Kit Yu Lucas - Hong Kong

Day At The Beach 

On a beautiful sunny day we set out for the beach, 

Trio Beach, that’s where we wanted to reach. 

We left the house just before nine, 

But got stuck in traffic behind a long line. 

When we arrived it was just time for lunch. 

Blue sky and cool water as we played by the seaside, 

But the sands were peppered with rubbish carried by the tide. 

O what a sight! 

It gave everyone a fright. 

What have we done to Hong Kong’s pride? 

Us kids decided to take back what was ours, 

And we cleaned the beach for hours and hours. 

It was hard work, no fun at all, 

But in the end we could stand up tall. 

And showed everyone not to mess with kid powers.

Dream  

 

If I could find a rocket. 

Higher and higher I should fly. 

If I could find a submrine. 

Deeper and deeper I should arrive. 

If I could find a skyscraper. 

Father and father I shoud see. 

It’s a wonderful thing that everyone has his own dream.

 

 

Inspiration Prize: Niu Jing Ran Jeremy - Hong Kong

My Cat 

I have a naughty cat, 

His name is Mat. 

Mat likes to hide in my mother’s big hat, 

But I can always find him easily because he is fat. 

Mat is most beloved in my flat.
