PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Safely snuggled in his mothers arms,

Peeping beneath a woolly hat

Bright eyes reflect the leap and dance,

The crackle and snap

Of bonfire flames.

Black-bodied bats, outlined in gold

Fly from the trees to traverse the sky.

Then Boom!-and a synchronized jump

Sweeps through the crowd.

Excited voices cry

"look the fireworks have begun".

Screaming golden dragons,spitting sparks

Twist across the night.

Tinsel trails of red and green.

A waterfall of silver.

All thuds and bangs,whoosh and whistle

And screams of audience delight.

I look towards those two dark eyes

Beneath the woolly hat-to peep,

With head upon his mothers shoulder

The little lad is fast asleep!
