Falmouth & Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Regatta 2014 Arts Project with Artist in Residence John DyerWhoosh, sizzle, crackle, boom,
Watch those fireworks soar and zoom,
Scarlet, amber, aqua, lime,
A sky of colours all the time.
See those tall ships hit the sea,
People are as happy as can be,
Watch those seagulls call to friends,
Watch the flags twist and bend.
At the warm Tallships day there are …
People swimming in the bay
seagulls flying around all day
People looking out to sea
people applauding at the view of the deep blue sea
Animals everywhere running about
all in the excitement of no doubt
Cats and Dogs run and play
whilst people are waving flags all the way
The fireworks fizz and pop
whilst children jump and flop
Sailors shouting and doing jigs
up on 30 foot rigs
The boats creak but no one shrieks
The rat scurry in a rush and hurry
Busy towns noise echoes in the shores
The rolling turquoise seas
gives people a tease
So people swim in the bay
through the Tallships day
All the time the seaside accordian
plays the a wistful tune at the end of the day.
I can see people waving flags in my face as I walk through the colorful crowd: red ones, green ones, blue ones – as far as I can see. And I can hear yells of joy and happiness. And then I see the tall ships gliding through the emerald sea. Beautiful. Elegant.
BANG, POP, WHIZZ. There goes another firework dancing in the dark blue sky, fizzing and swirling – up up they go into the cloudy night they fly. The streets are lit up with lights all shades of colours as people walk through. The tall ships are swaying as they show off there amazing colors to the people on the bay. ‘Woof woof,’ ‘Meow meow,’ the cats and dogs are singing as well, and the streets are bursting with sound. I go to sleep this night thinking of the wonderful tall ships that I have seen and I drift to sleep like one.
Bang, Pop, Whizz, Zoom
That’s how the fireworks fly.
Up,up into the sky,
Up where the tall ships sigh
Up, up in the very high sky.
Jelly fish tenticals whizzing all around
Bubbles in our ears as the fireworks POW
The fireworks go Pop Bang Sizzle Sizzle
That’s how the fire works go.
Yellow, blue, green, violet
The flags on the tall ships are colours,
Colours in the sky just as the fireworks fly.
As people scream and cheer
Cats hide from the fireworks that go
Whizz, pop, bang in the sky.
Colours, colours in the sky,
Pink, pink, yellow, blue.
As the night goes on you feel tired
But excited for more and more fun.
As the evening grows darker the noises
And celebrations continue.
White sails as white as snow.
Sailors dancing and prancing round and round.
Fireworks flashing and crashing in the air.
Birds going higher so they don’t catch on fire.
There stands tall ships as tall as the sky.
Then they all start to wave good bye.
THE TALL SHIPS
Sails swaying
Boats rocking
Birds flapping
Sea lapping
Dolphins jumping
Seals barking
Fireworks crackling

Emily’s Story
Emily was a girl,
She held a pearl.
She played music for days.
But never got paid.
So she got a new job,
Met a man called Bob.
Got a job on frames,
She learnt many names,
Not just Bob but Dob.
The fireworks and flames,
Made her forget those names.
The sway of the boat.
Let her forget the moat.

Tall Ship Regatta
Celebration time in Falmouth,
Excited people all around town,
Listen carefully to the soft music,
Elated people dancing in their clogs,
Bright colours bursting though the town,
Regatta for everyone, come on join in,
A celebration not too forget,
Tonight it’s time to party,
Illuminating the sea side town fireworks fly,
On the pier there are people dancing,
Never forget this celebration.

A Beautiful Night
The crackling fireworks giving off a bright light,
The calm glistening sea beaming in the night,
Gigantic tall ships getting ready to set sail,
People dancing and cheering while drinking ale,
Flags calmly waving side to side,
A peaceful, millpond this high tide,
It’s such a beautiful sight,
What an amazing night!
