Fireworks
POPSandBANGSandFIZZLESandCRACKLESAre all well and good but they do raise my hacklesOne moment I’m sittingRelaxed, in deep thoughtAnd in the next instantMy nerves are all fraughtAn explosion outsideJolts me with a frightIt’s always the sameAround Bonfire Night!

The birth of the phoenix
What once was coalSparksFail to IgniteSmoking cinders Roll As A bird Takes To flightFlames No longer lick Embers glow no moreTwo strong legs kick And wings help the bird soarDarkness diminished by wingsOutstretched wideThe birth of the phoenix Has just been describedHigh up above flies the magical birdOnce only ever dreamed of in our real world
