The Lost Land of Punt

Once upon a time,
There was a mysterious kingdom,
Full of green vegetation,
Rich treasures and exotic animals.
People traded gold, ebony, 
Ivory and frankincense,
With ancient Egypt.
It was a prosperous land,
Thousands of years ago.
But then something may have happened!
In that faraway land,
To that incredible civilization.
Nobody knows, 
IT VANISHED!

Shonima, I had never heard of "Punt," so I must thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are always left to wonder what happened to vanishing civilizations. A wonderful poem. Congratulations on a second place in the contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
