Magical Bonfire Night

Here is a very topical poem written by Tracey Curtis about Bonfire Night!

MAGICAL BONFIRE NIGHT….

Once again it’s that time of year,
The fifth of November is finally here.
We’ve built our fire and made a guy,
It’s a little sad he has to fry.

Mum’s been busy, the buffet done,
We invited the neighbours to join the fun.
Out comes dad with his box of tricks,
Lots of fireworks and lighter sticks.

He lights the fire, we all stand round,
Orange flames and a crackling sound.
It doesn’t take long to feel the heat,
I love this night, it’s really neat.

It’s half past seven, the firework show,
He lights two rockets, and off they go.
“Whoosh”, straight up, then out of sight,
A big flash, bang, with a bright green light.

Here come more lights everywhere,
A cloud of smoke fills the air.
Yellows and blues, bright as the sun,
A fountain of colour for everyone.

Catherine wheels, spinning round,
Held there by a pin.
The crackerjacks are really loud,
My mum jumps out her skin.

But soon it is all over,
Two hours seemed to fly,
Everyone enjoyed themselves,
Except for poor old guy.

Everything has an ending,
But what a sheer delight.
I’m glad you came to join us,
On our… MAGICAL BONFIRE NIGHT…..
