Magic In The Birds Nest : Modern Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

Fireworks exploded and the birds nest erupted in Beijing

In mid air performers were hanging suspended on a string .

The stadium was a carnival of colourful motion ,

Charismatic cartwheels of time within an ancient ocean .

Depicting a myth and igniting a flame for all to see .

Drum  sticks with gentle fluorescents ever so slightly thumping .

Wasn't it great  ?

The opening ceremony in Beijing .
