‘A Party at the Tall Ships Regatta’ by Nyssa, Age 10 Years

A Party at the Tall Ships Regatta.

As the clock struck 10 the magical fireworks lit up the dull night sky,
The people danced around the glowing streets celebrating and partying all night long,
The boats set sail with the party on board and with seamen expertly hanging from the sails,
The water was as still as a millpond and the white horses galloped in the water as the water shone in the glistening moonlight,
As the clock struck 12 the party stopped partying, the sailors stopped their loud singing and the boats docked into shore.

‘Under the Stars’ by Grace Harrison, Age 8 Years

Under the Stars

The wind bellows within the sails,
Along with the chorus of the whales ,
The white horses gallop and neigh,
These are the words that the white ones say,
“Swim, oh fish, the Fishermen come,
You may be caught and dried under the sun,”
Seagulls soar across the sky,
They think how lucky am I?
To be able to fly,

People shout and cry and scream,
Under the magnificent moon beam,
Swirling twirling fireworks in the great star alleys,
They are so bright they can even
Be seen from the deepest of valleys,
The beat of the feet on the street stops,
The colours die down,
And people start to frown,
They go to bed,
To rest their heads,
And they sleep, sleep, sleep.

‘The Tall Ships’ by Emily, Age 11Years

The Tall Ships

The crashing fireworks burst through the sky like a thousand rockets,
The dancing people groove through the streets,
All of the children’s wide smiles are as bright as all the stars in the dark night sky,
Vibrant colours illuminating the town,
Singing, laughing, dancing, shouting,
The colourful seaside town,
The crystal, deep, blue sea,
The jolly drunken sailors singing shanties as the night goes on,
Hooray, hooray the villagers shout,
This is the best night with no doubt.

‘A Journey’ By Lilly, Age 14 years

Fireworks flashing
Flags flapping
Sailors chatting

Horns honking
Bells ringing
Birds singing

Dogs barking
Children laughing
Everyone’s happy,
The Tall ships have come

The clock struck twelve over Falmouth town
The trees were swaying all around
There were no more boats or people around

The tall ships were gone
So there was nothing to do
And they had all gone home to eat some stew
And watch TV and play on the wii

But soon that same old place was grey
And people did start to inquire
What had happen to their oomph
The way they danced around all day

“The tall ships may have gone” they cried
“But what has happen to our pride
We can still have lots of fun
And make merry in the gorgeous sun”
Slowly everyone did cheer
And danced around
And drank some beer

So Falmouth town once old and grey
Came out of its sad misery
Let this be a lesson to us all
Once the tall ships have gone
Carry on with the fun.

‘Hurrar they’re here’ by May, Age 8years

Wahay the Tall ships are here
Everybody shout hurray.
Come outside and watch them glide across the turquoise sea

Get up sleepy heads it’s time to get out of bed.
Come on lets have some fun.
Dance and sing all day long.

I have never seen people so happy before
Come on Tall ships
Lets have some more.

‘Tall Ships Poem’ by Lauren G, age 11

Woosh, went the waves when the fireworks exploded in the night sky.
Swoosh, went the wind in the trees as the crowd cheers and howls.
Bang, went the fireworks as the sea shone from the moon.

Dogs barking
Bells ringing
Children screaming
Trees swishing
Birds squawking
Barbeques burning
Fireworks exploding

The smell of pasties waft by.
The seagulls fly by
The people glaring at the sky.
The ice cream dripping on the pavement.
No-one wanted it to end.
Getting late, the clock bell rang
It was time to go home.
The last fireworks went off,
screaming, whizzing into the sky.
Slowly people left.
What an experience!

‘Tall Ships’ by Iris, age 11

Bang!
Another firework exploded.
Yay!
Children having fun.

Seagulls flying through the gentle moonlit sky.
While the tall ships crowd in and say hello.
The smell of happiness lures me in to join the family.
The moon is a light shining down on us,
Keeping us safe and secure
As we cheer and play inside the glorious town.

Darkness is crowding in,
People are getting scarce.
The moon is waking up,
Until another day.

‘Smiling’ by Daisy S, aged 11

The fireworks erupt into colours – blue, yellow, pink,
Flashing before my eyes,
Settling on the calm blue sea,
That twinkles in the moonlight.
Everyone cheers as the tall ships sail into sight;
Busy sailors waving happily from the sails.
The sparkles and fizzes fill the air,
The fireworks painting the midnight blue sky by themselves.
The crowd is buzzing with excitement.
The whole of Falmouth watch the ships;
The ships decorated with flags and bunting.
Even dogs acknowledge the event,
Barking at the seagulls who circle the moon.
The crowd ooh and aah
Mouths open wide in awe of the beautiful sight before them.
The moon watches from above,
S M I L I N G …

Tall Ships by Beau J aged 11

Slowly but steadily as the sun starts to shine,
One or two ships are close in sight.
Dunkin Donuts into chocolate,
No-one misses a bite.
As the tall masts creep closer to the harbour,
Everyone starts to cheer.
While the women watch the fireworks,
the men enjoy a cold beer.
Falmouth is full of ships but all too soon they have to leave again.
Goodbye Tall Ships.
