Falmouth & Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Regatta 2014 Arts Project with Artist in Residence John DyerAs the tall ships come sailing by
‘Hooray! Hooray!’ the people cry
As they surf on the ocean blue
The children shout ‘Wahoo! Wahoo!’
When the fireworks let off a spark
All the dogs jump up and bark
The lifeboats shine their lights to the sky
It makes the little babies cry
As the parade comes to a close
On everyone’s faces the sadness shows
As the crowd begins to clear
Only silence you can hear.
The sailing race
Salty sea in the air.
The wide boat pushing through the waves like a flying fish.
Fish and chips in the air.
The waves are gripping the boats like a angry fist.
Excited screeches in the air.
By Charlie Bray
The Big Boats are sailing
The dog is wailing because the big boats are sailing.
The people are cheering because the big boats are sailing.
The animals are scuttling because the big boats are sailing.
The people are cheering because the big boats are sailing.
The leaves are blowing because the big boats are sailing.
