POEM STARTER

Write a poem through the eyes of a child, capturing their wonder at a fireworks display.

In the absence of elaborate and highly descriptive language, think how else you can capture an atmosphere of wonder.

NOOOO

it was new year’s eve

2014

the fireworks would be starting soon

i was so excited

i couldn’t even focus on

my mom

who was yelling at me

cause i

ate uncooked meat

“it wasnt finished !! i was gonna put it in the soup”

all i could see is

the big red lever

and not a sight of

a permit

i couldnt help myself

i ran over to the

big

red

lever

and pulled it towards me

“NOOOO”

my mom yelled

but it was too late

i pulled the lever

and reached out

to touch the fire

“NOOOO”

my dad yelled

but it was too late

i touched the fire

it was exhilarating 

the fire truck came

while i laughed my head off

they took my to the hospital

but at least

i got to eat

chocolate cake

at the hospital 😊
