Guy Fawkes
Night
It was a
simpler time
When
Governments were not so concerned
And fun did
not need a licence
November
night
When Jack
Frost jumped the fence
And plants shriveled at his breath
We would
come out
And penny crackers light
To watch
them jump and spark about
The
Catherine wheels pinned
To walls,
would spin
Excited
circles of flickering colour
Rockets
ignited
Launching
with a whoosh
To reach stars above
It was Guy
Fawkes night
The night
for crackers
A night of
light and sparks
I remember
A child’s
excitement
Enchanted
with colour and light
Aaaaah, I remember it well. Before we became a nanny state lol Lovely David.
