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.
