Nationality Poems
By Andrew Cummings
The Austrian Room
The room is fancy
There are treasures in a case
There are paintings on the ceiling
There is even a rare vase
There is a map on the wall
A door to the hall
The glass chandelier shines
Back on to the treasure in the case
Indian Room
The pillars are beautiful
The walls are made of brick
This room has much free space
The coziness of this room is almost like a trick
The Taj Mahal is to the left
A golden canoe is to the right
If I was actually there it would be a wondrous sight
Japanese Room
The room looks ancient
Made of finely carved wood
It seems like a classroom
From where I stood
The ceiling’s made of bamboo
These scrolls are ancient too
And then I look back on the wood
Armenian room
This place is made of solid stone
The walls are curved with perfection
The room is lacking comfort
But has plenty of protection
