Bonfire Night

Under the large oak tree stood a little boy with his parents helping him to light his sparkler. This clearly was his first time as he was a little worried that it would burn his tiny little fingers. Most of the children were in groups showing off to each other how big their fireworks were or what effects it produced. The adults were busy buying kids their late night snacks.
In the middle of the park Bright yellow orange, flames danced, flickered knowing they were being watched by an amazed crowd. The fire was a dragon roaring with fury and spitting charcoal, with the immense heat that slapped your face. In the middle of the dragon stood guy Fawkes. He was stuffed with wool, it was wearing a tatty blazer, his eyes were painted red, and he is standing on a big bulky brown stick it looked like a demon. You could smell the wood as it was burning it smelt like charcoal. Above the dark black clouds were low and hairy in the skies, like locks blown forward in the bleem of eyes. People watching the bonfires were in high spirits. Chants of “Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot” rose up into the sky. A teenager munching on the baked potato which he had just cooked over the bonfire.
Then began the grand finale, fireworks began to make the sky ripple like as if a stone had been dropped into a pond. It was as loud as a thunderstorm but children’s happy faces lit up. The vivid colours full of merriment filled the sky. The flames of the fireworks flickered and twisted. Displays of such brilliance nobody there was tired of watching. The fireworks tried hard to outshine the stars or to be more striking and elegant than the last. While they vainly attempted to try and touch the sky.
A man stared at the sky in sheer bliss his potato pie with pickled red cabbage almost fell apart. The cold hair making his head turn towards the smell of burning wood. A squirrel stares through a little hole in the oak tree amazed by all the

    It was a deceptively beautiful summer night in the month of July; Resplendent and artistic to people with discerning tastes and sensibilities. The sky was ornamented by splendiferous celestial beings. The waning moon was accessorized by the clouds, suspended mid-air in a picturesque, aesthetic fashion, wanting to augment the peculiarly blissful setting. The violet sky couldn’t have been any more sublime.…

    From that day forward I learned that I should be more careful with fireworks, I should always have an adult present while using fire, think twice before you act, and take care of family first. Even though a lot of things went wrong nobody got hurt and nothing was damaged or combusted, so in a way everything went as planned???? Well at the end of the day it was just a little something to laugh about, so it is ok to take risks every once in awhile. Oh and don't forget to be careful with…

    The picture that I confronted was amazing to the point that I couldn't represent a moment. There were five major quiet greenish blue pounds that passed water to each other which then ran out as a waterfall. The sweet, almost wiped out, smell of blossoms slice through the delicate aroma of the evening's dewy grass developed all around the pounds. So high on the mountain I have a feeling that I can touch the sky with the tips of my fingers. I heard the winged creatures singing their wonderful last tune before they will go to rest. I solidify, thinking what an awesome day today is, when out of the blue I feel my stomach turn, I totally overlooked I didn't eat anything today. Tyler, Alex, and I sat down to eat some nourishment before we will head back. After every one of these hours not eating the sustenance felt particularly great. The pureed potatoes were smooth and velvety and the vegetables with their fluctuated hues gave the dish a pleasant appearance. The meat had a rich flavor with only a clue of spiciness. In the wake of eating we put lofts and laid there for around twenty minutes before we pressed up and left such a wonderful spot. I looked over the maritime blue pounds now, the blooms that were presently laying scattered on the grass like solidified blazes, the sky that had obscured to a weak violet shading, and the brilliant melon light of a late summer evening, pivoted and left. A winsome wind…

    By November 12, most of the conspirators had been killed or taken to the Tower of London. Although the Gunpowder plot was meant to murder King James I and the members of the House of Parliament , it killed a whole different group of people, including Fawkes himself. And I know that he will never forget the day he was executed. He was a good man, and he is often toasted as “the last man to enter Parliament with honorable intentions.”…

    As the night grew colder, the slim trees danced through the wind passing by Smasher Sullivans land. The open paddocked fields of green seemed so peaceful and serene against the dark forest that ended it. With weary shadows casting as night fell upon the tree tops Smasher sat on the porch of him home, alone, staring past the fields and deep into the forest that forever watched him. The hushed silence began to play games with his mind, his eyes scoping along the horizon and back again searching for any sign of movement that could spark the violence and power he craved to behold. A large black bird flew from the darkness and lost into the night sky in the blink of an eye. What seemed like hundreds more of these black figures retreated seconds later that caused ripples of chaos breaking the silence. Smasher panicked, grasping his rifle from the old wooden table beside him aiming into the distance, not at the commotion but of a small outline leaning upon a tree trunk. The figure grew larger and more prominent as it approached the opening close to the rusty farm fence encompassed by darkness. Smasher slowly rose to his feet; hands tightly wrapped around the rifle, boot buckles clinking together, and took a paused step towards the field. He crept closer, with each step squelching from the mud caught beneath his boots when finally he reached the fence. This rusting line of wire being the only thing between himself, and the black figure, which was now exposed from the depth of the forest. “Who goes there? You stepped ya self on the wrong land!”, Smasher cries, his voice bellowing upon the stillness. He stood, waiting for a cowardly reply, but all that could be heard was the crying of bush animals and the clashing of branches. The forest was brought to a complete hush as the figure took an unnerving stride towards Smasher and his face was finally revealed by the moonlight struck on the open plain. His somber skin stood out to Smasher like a bright light shining through a…
