Tall Ships 2014, by Sean Raistrick, aged 9

TALL SHIPS 2014
I woke up on the 25th May,
To see the tall ships arriving in the bay,
Lifeboats at the front and divers taking a dip,
But there, at the back, sailed the tall ships.
Some near the front, some near the back,
The scene was colourful, pigeons were the only things black.
There were beautiful fireworks and people dancing’,
There was shaking of hands and people prancing.
People were looking down from the deck,
At the tremendous Falmouth shipwreck.
There was more than one, more than ten,
Even more than one-hundred women and men,
Lining up, at the docks, to see the enormous pigeon flock.
A few hours later, when the party was over, there was no sound, not a rustle of clover.
But all was not silent; there was one thing to be heard,
It sounded like a bird.
Late at night, when everyone was in bed, two seagulls flew overhead.

‘The Tall Ships’ by Aimee Burley, Age 8 Years

The Tall Ships

Feel the breeze, smell the salty seaweed.

Listen to the dogs wailing because the tall ships are sailing,

Watch the golden beaked seagulls fly over the glistening blue sea.

Mermaids tails the size of whales.

The tall ships tantalizing, tickling like the deep dark sea.

I dive into the salty blue sea like a dolphin.

‘Poppy and the flower’ by Summer Mcleman, Age 8 Years

Poppy and the flower

Lois the bright red flower redder than all the other flowers. Lois wanted too be something more, something more spectacular! Then he felt a slight breeze on his petal … No, its Poppy running through the grass at top speed. Lois could smell the farmer’s girl’s hot dog. He could feel the wet grass swishing away in the breeze. Poppy stopped and Lois was surprised! She picked Lois up and walked to the Tall ships race as the gargantuan fireworks explode in the sky. Lois and Poppy were best friends and everyday Poppy gave Lois new water.

‘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’ by Jamie Lorenzo, Age 8 Years

Tall Ships

The ships are sailing as fast as the wind over the salty blue sea.

I dive in the glimmering salty sea like a dolphin searching for his tea!

The seagulls are singing with hunger in the sandy salty sea.

I dive in the glimmering salty sea like a dolphin searching for his tea!

The water is frozen like the North Pole in the icy cold winter.

‘Life is a beach’ Jack Dow, Age 8 Years

Life is a beach

Once there was a boy, he worked on
a pirate ship, he hated living on a pirate ship, his name was Joe. short for Joseph. One day he refused to work. “You shall work slave or I will throw you over board,” the captain threatened. “No,” Joe answered bravely and then the captain was furious! “THROW HIM OVER BOARD!!!” the captain roared! The next thing he remembered was never found out until the Tall ships rescued him and that is the end of the story Joe’s grandson said.

‘Feel the Life at The Tall Ships’ by Mamata Sharma, Age 9 Years

Feel the Life at the Tall Ships

A tall ship is tall
The sea is big
But the tall ship is the most important of all

Watch them swab the deck
Climb the rigging
Go around the port, bow, starboard and stern
Can you feel the waves, the tall ships going up and down?

You want to go around the world
But you can’t
Because you don’t have a boat
Wait for four years

Hop on into the tall ships
And fulfil your dreams!
Have some life in the sea
Where you can become free!

Watch them swab the deck
Climb the rigging
Go around the port, starboard, bow and stern
Can you feel the waves
The tall ships going up and down?
Couldn’t you just feel the life now?

‘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?
