    Christopher Harold wrote a poem about dragon boat racing from the perspective of an observer. In the poem, the observer sees the dragon boat teams mounting their boats - one shaped like a dragon and the other like a horse with wings. They then hear the starting cannon and see the teams battle each other on the water with paddles, with one team emerging victorious over the other that is swallowed by the blue water. The winning team then returns to shore celebrating their victory.
