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 😊
