‘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 Evelyn Robertson, Age 11Years

The Tall Ships

Dashing along the clear water,
The white horses galloping,
Not parting from the boat for a split second.
Spraying silver waves splashing endlessly.
The distant horizon beckoning them forward,
The vibrant colours glowing brightly,
When will this magical and wonderful journey end?
