#APoemADay - Day 5 - November 5th
Whoosh sparkle fizz
Sharp intake of cold
night
Gasps of glittering
light
Gunpowder clouds
drift
After explosive
delight
A revolutionary
tradition
Guy burns every year
For inciting rebellion
His spirit scattering
stars
Of fire in the burnt
night
A family occasion
based
In historical
altercation
Daring celebrated
In bursting rainbows
And burning stars
Spirits stir and
voices
Whoop from beneath
Muffled hats and
scarves
We all become wizards
With sparkling
fingertips
The 5th of
November
Sparks us to remember
To stoke the magical
Rebellious, wild and
crazy
Works of fire we are
