| Bonfire Night |
 |
| Faces glow in the heat of the magnificent fire Young and old alike bask in its warmth As the flames lick high into the night sky The billowing smoke is masked by the darkness The kindling wood of this inferno crackles As a cool autumn breeze Fans the flames to more ferocity I stare deep onto the heart Of the flickering mound Mesmerised by the changing colours Orange to Red to White and back again The haze stings my eyes as I try to concentrate A smell of burning sausages and onions Wafts gently across from a small area Surrounded with hungry bodies When suddenly, BANG! Everyones attention is diverted To the brightly coloured sky WHOOSH! as another rocket peirces the air And explodes into a thousand tiny lights Excited chatter from the crowd below Is perforated by the occasional ooh and ahh As more fireworks are sent screaming to their fiery demise But all too soon, the sky falls silent And the only sounds that are heard Are those of the car doors slamming And engines purring into life Much like the great fire itself Another bonfire night is extinguished Into the annals of history... |
