I am on a tall ship
A relaxing, colourful tall ship
I sail in the calm smooth sea
Come along with me and see
The sparkling sea
I am on a tall ship
A relaxing, colourful tall ship

Brave men lost at sea
Brave men lost at sea
I wonder where they be
Brave men lost at sea
I wonder if they will be freed
Brave men lost at sea
I wonder if they will be lost for all eternity
Brave men lost at sea
I wonder if there will be fireworks if they return
Brave men lost at sea
I guess they will stay lost for all eternity
Brave men lost at sea
I wonder if they’re lost at the bottom of the sea
Brave men lost at sea
As widows weep and children cry
Brave men lost at sea
Their houses seems empty
Brave men lost at sea
Where could they possibly be?
Brave men lost at sea
I guess they will spend all eternity at the bottom of the big blue sea
Brave men lost at sea
Where could they possibly be?
Brave men lost at sea
I wonder if they plummeted to the bottom of the deep blue sea
Brave men lost at sea
Only God and the fish know where they be
All I can see is darkness. I think I’m in a box. Suddenly the box shakes and I can hear people around me shouting, then a sharp object comes through the roof of the box and slits through the tape running down the flaps of the box to keep it shut. Four fingers come the top of the box and lifts open the flaps and holds me in his big warm hands.
Suddenly somebody shoves me in the the ground and walks away.
A couple of hours past and now its dark some people with bright green jackets behind me and lights my tail “ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss” my tail is about to send me up up, up into the shiny sky.
“3,2,1” the men shout. Suddenly I shoot up into the night sky like a rocket past the sails of the boats. Instantly I straighten out and go up. I can see all the people cheering and clapping, watching me! I can smell the grey smoke following me. I can taste whizzing next to me. I can hear the waves lapping on the sea.
Suddenly I explode into a million pieces across the night sky. Red, blue and green…All the fractures run down into the crowd.
I am a firework, laying in a dark box, alone and don’t know how long for, I can smell the owner smoking which smells like a burnt piece of toast. I have been in the box for a long hour alone and waiting, waiting to be a loud bang.
Finally the man (who is 51 years old) takes me out of the box and throws me onto the firework stand and connects me to dynamite and gets me ready for the big bang!
He sets the wire on fire and in seconds the bang will happen! I am so nervous I could wet myself. BANG!! Boom! Boom! Pow!
It was so scary, I was like an aeroplane … I can see lovely people of Falmouth watching me as I launch into the beautiful sky. I can see the giant tall ships running across the salty sea and I can smell the lovely fish and chip shop.
What have I done to deserve to die? Why can’t I stay as a beautiful firework in the sky.

‘The Sea’ by Billy Daly, Age 11Years
The Sea
I am violent, a bloodhound targeting victim after victim.
I am vociferous, I flood towns, erode cliffs, beat mountains down to add to my collection.
I am vast, I am as large as life, and twice as powerful.
I am a lone wolf, howling to the shore, roaring at the towns.
I am the sea
by Billy
In a dark, cold box, I was lying alone. I felt scared and lonely. I didn’t know what to do. The box was all rusty and oily. I didn’t like it at all.
Suddenly, I was moving around the box. It felt like someone was carrying me. I was rolling all around the box like a ball going crazy.
Slowly someone grabbed me and pulled me out of the box and dumped me on the grass with all the other fireworks. They then connected me to all of the other fireworks. The man left me alone with all of the fireworks. I was scared. He said to a man ,
“I am going to get the matches” Quickly, the man rushed back with a lighter and a match. Would you like to be set off by a match?
Suddenly the man got closer and closer and closer. He set me off with a BANG!! I didn’t know what was going on, but down below I saw a lovely, white Tall Ship. The people were staring at me. The sea was a sapphire crystal shining below me. I could see massive houses, all different colours (pink, blue, orange, yellow…). There were hundreds of dogs and cats everywhere I looked. The sight before my eyes was amazing.
I got closer and closer to the ground. I ended up becoming dust. Lots of tiny grains of dust. Suddenly my life flashed before my eyes as I landed on the ground. I was not a firework anymore, just dust.
In a dark blue, tight box I lay until someone lifts me out and stands me up. I look up at the dark silent sky. Suddenly I am put on the top of the Falmouth clock. Without warning I am squeezed to the spire on the top of the clock and a few seconds later I am left alone…
I feel frosty as I look and listen to people and children gathering towards me. Children are laughing and waiting for the show to start. More and more and more people come towards me. After five minutes, I hear the sizzling of a fuse and I am lit…
“That’s odd, my base is rather warm. It feels good,” Then my base begins to get even hotter. I smell smoke and the black fuse gets charred and finally my fuse is roasting hot! I erupt into the dark blue sky. BOOOM!
“I’m FREE!!” Where am I going? The audience cheer and scream. As I look down, I see the Tall Ships and Small Ships and the calm blue sea. I can smell the smoke as other fireworks boom before my eyes. I see blue, orange, red and green sparks fly next to me. I can hear the children laughing and clapping. I can hear lapping waves and splashing water. I can hear beeping from mobile phones and loud chatter as kids discuss my colours as I wiggle down towards ground. Suddenly I spark in the sky and split into a million pieces.
My one last ball of ‘dust’ smashes against the ground….
I’m stuck in a dark box alone, no one to talk to, just a cardboard wall. I looked out of a hole in the box, it was coming dark, people were standing in the town.
Suddenly I heard footsteps, someone was coming, I quickly laid down. Then someone picked me up, and put me in a comfy slot. There was a another person next to me, he attached a long piece of rope to me. I said “ What’s this?”. A sizzling noise, it flicked in my ear, then they set the rope on fire.
Then I flew up into the night blue sky . “I can see the whole place from up hear, people cheering, birds flying, then I saw the most special thing in the world , a sign saying “ John Dyer.” My creator.
After that I went into the sea and died, but I still have that picture in my mind and I had one more look. Now my heat was lost in time and space.
I was in the cardboard box, it was about 5 pm. I got taken out of the box.The ground was like a muddy puddle. I got the long red wire attached to me…on the end of it was dynamite!
I was scared like a human.
He got a match and lit the end of the wire. It was coming to me. It got to the last piece of the wire and up I went whirling up into the air. It was going until….
Suddenly I went BANG! I exploded, the noise of the firework was great. I was looking down at the crystal blue sea as I looked down I saw the tall ships arrive into Falmouth harbour.
I could see the people having fun in the streets celebrating the Tall Ships coming into Falmouth. I could see the dogs and cats lying next to the trees.
The dust was falling from me.
