Entry Information

Your task for November is a STANDARD CRYPTIC clue to ANY FIREWORK of your choice by the closing date of MIDNIGHT GMT FRIDAY 27th NOVEMBER.
 
On this occasion it would be very helpful to include the enumeration of your chosen word at the end of the clue! In addition remember to state your chosen FIREWORK in the explanation to your clue.
 
FOR EXAMPLE:
 
This is my clue to a firework – isn't it good? (6)
 
WITH AN EXPLANATION ALONG THE LINES OF:
 
ROCKET(or whatever your firework is): anag. + T & lit.
 
As always you may submit only one clue, but you can save, change, delete, submit and resubmit to your heart's content before deciding on your final clue within the given time period.
 
Our primary reference is The Chambers Dictionary (2008 edition), but you may, if you wish, use another dictionary or source, BUT PLEASE STATE SO IN YOUR CLUE'S EXPLANATION.
