Seren Roberts Poet Cinqku

Sequence

Colour
Lights the sky
Sparkling flashes 
Noise of firework display -
Guy Fawkes*


Beneath
House of Lords - 
Gunpowder plot
Failed to assassinate
King James

* failed in an attempt to kill the king and restore  a catholic monarch to the throne of UK.  Nov 5th is bonfire night where an effigy  ( a guy) is burnt in every town and most houses.  Children ask for a penny for the guy, night enjoyed by all.
