‘Tall Ships’ by Emma Greenshields, Age 12 Years

Tall ships are gliding over the choppy waves
All ships are brightly coloured and smothered in flags
Lots of people are shouting and cheering
Lots of birds fly in circles above the commotion below
Skies flash with fireworks
Houses lie empty while everyone celebrates
In the sea the seaweed floats, bobbing in time with the waves
People stand on the masts waving and cheering
Some people are swimming in the sea despite the cold.
