A poem about visiting the Great Wall of China, which includes pinyin

Zhong guo chang cheng

 

 

Great wall

 

Stands high

 

In the hills

 

Wanders over

 

Lu Mu Crests

 

Mist obscures

 

Distant Sentinels

 

Blows over

 

Ming steps crenellations

 

The omnipresent name

 

He is not forgotten

 

Even Here

 

Mao Zedong                    

 

 

 

A Chinese man

 

Points out

 

Big stone letters

 

Spelled upon

 

A far hillside

 

Like Green River

 

Mao Zedong

 

 

 

Great zhong quo

 

Huajia he Laoshi

 

But neither he

 

Nor Great Wall

 

Can be seen

 

From the moon

 

To celebrate

 

This xiao oversight

 

I draw

 

Wo hua

 

Great Wall
