Fools

Don't let them fool you, I mean the pretty lights of course- However they're horrible to listen to, the loud bangs sound furious! They dazzle in the night- to everyone's delight! But see how they run away, from the flame that set them alight. They light up like the suns ray, lighting up the black night. They flee from the heat, cause harm to a mans touch the line-up is too neat as young make effort to clutch. So remember, remember the fifth of November the plot had its reason, to commit that awful treason. originally written ~ 5/11/16

I wrote this poem on bonfire night, to contrast the pros and cons of bonfire night as i as looking at my dog which was frightened at the bangs of the fireworks. The first 3 stanzas are a metaphor on the concept of the theme until the last stanza when all is revealed and I have twisted the words of the nursery rhyme = "Remember, remember! The fifth of November, the Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!"
