Busy Fizzy Bees - A Limerick

The bees in the hive were quite busy,
Making honey that was very fizzy.
    The taste couldn't be beat,
    But the honey was too sweet,
And the whole hive went into a tizzy.

Sestina of Herons

I see a heron.
The heron is flying.
It spreads its wings out wide.
It goes free.
I look up at the sun giving off light.
Looking at the beach makes me happy.

I am happy
Flying like a heron.
I feel wonderful looking at light.
I see a butterfly flying
I set a firefly free
I watch its wings spread wide


The door way is wide.
I walked through it happily.
At night I sleep freely.
I dream about a heron.
The firefly flies.
I turn on a light bulb and there is light.

I paint with colors that are as light
As the ocean is wide.
I see seagulls fly.
Listening to the ocean makes me happy.
I love herons.
I dance freely.

I feel free.
I feel the light.
I love herons.
The heron carries the sun on its wings, wide.
I dance with happiness
I want to fly.

I feel like I am flying.
I am free,
And I am happy.
My fuel is the light,
My wings are wide.
I am a heron.

Happiness I feel when flying.
Herons are free.
Light fills the doorway wide.

I see

I see firebushes, color changing like a chameleon to match the falling leaves.  I see pine trees of whom remain their lively green through the time of barren trees.  I see the leaves on the ground like rose petals falling on a starry night.  And in it all, the most I see is the beauty of the fall, with acorns scattered across the ground and the geese have commenced their flight.

Sun

Lurking in the dark,
Survives and thrives in the light.
This is my shadow.

Autumn

What I see in fall: a pile of leaves that have fallen from trees, the shiny sky, and a lot of birds. I hear the crunch of leaves, wind moving. I taste the air on the tip of my tongue.  I also taste the taste of a plant (its not that bad). I smell that beautiful smell of flowers, like the perfume my mother wears, and the beautiful smell of earth, like the air on a humid day.

On My Skin - a haiku


Howling in my ear
Freezing breathes on my skin
Wind is wonderful

Outside in the Fall


Elizabeth eating plants
Ms. Frye talks out loud to us
That’s what surrounds us.

Thanksgiving Break

Hi there huskies!  I know it is Thanksgiving break, but the Horizons club has been busy the past few weeks.   That means I will continue to post new pictures and poems in the next few weeks.  You'll get a new post every day or two, so keep checking in.

If you want to see your poetry and artwork on this website, drop by Mrs. Frye's room (Room 120) after school on Thursdays.  You can create art with us, or bring in a project you've been working on at home.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Autumn Haiku

Flowers standing tall
But crinkled and brown as if
Their lives have blown off.

Limerick of Fall

The time has now come for the fall.
These are the days robins call.
I'd rather not gloat,
But I do have a coat,
So I go suggest that you go to the mall!

What is Horizons?

What is Horizons, you ask? Horizons is a club that meets every Thursday afternoon. We write poetry, draw pictures, create stories, construct collages, and take photographs.
