‘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.

‘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 …

My Poem by Hope Aged 7

Red collared dog howling
Tall ships small ships sailing
Sneaky cat hunting for bunting
Beautiful fireworks banging and crashing
Sea shining bright
Nagging seagulls pecking at chips
Rainbow coloured houses glowing
Sapphire sky sparkling

‘The Gold beaked Seagulls’ by Corey Beard, Age 8 Years

Gold beaked seagulls

The tall ships tantalizing tickling,
The deep dark sea!

The gold beaked seagulls,
elegantly flying,
over the light blue sea.

Mermaids tails the size of a whale,
Families rushing out,
To get a brain-buzzing eye-popping view.

The gold beaked seagulls,
elegantly flying,
Over the light blue sea.

I dive into the salty blue sea like a shark,
Searching for,
his tea.

‘Tall Ships Galore’ by Wilamena, Age 7 Years

Tall ships galore in the port of Falmouth,
people climbing up and up
the salty rigging,
hanging from the sails.
And cheering people standing at the quay,
waving flags as the soft breeze blows in their faces.

Purple boats that are the Tall ships,
sprays the boat with salty water.

Just as the clock strikes 12 the fireworks explode,
the accordion player starts to join in,
the vibration of the accordion I’ve never seen that before.
I think the Accordion just gives it that one bit more.
It wakes the cats the dogs and birds,
sniffing and looking for left over crumbs,
pasties, sandwiches what ever is around.

Little children wondering,
thinking what it must be like,
standing on the masts singing songs
and where will the wind take them ?
What will it bring?
