Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is Poet’s Choice. I chose to write an Easter Shadorma.


Easter morn

With smiling faces

Kiddies seek

Their treasure

No one dares tell them the truth

It is a secret

 

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! ❤

The family is ready for the hoopla tomorrow

Oh, by the way, have you an egg I can borrow?

To display on my table this Easter, to be seen

On the twenty first of April, twenty nineteen

Mr. and Mrs. Peep, donned in their best Sunday duds
Were ready for the annual Easter parade, down Main
Mr. Peep in his tuxedo, Mrs. Peep in a purple bonnet
Often found the other chicks dressed quite mundane

Trying to make a statement, the Peeps went to town
Waving to the folks, and flashing smiles, for all to see
But, no one was paying attention, everyone did ignore
“We’re the best dressed!” cried Mrs. “How can this be”

The town had done away with this yearly competition
They more concerned with everyone being friendly
It seems they had had enough, of the Peep’s traditions
No one seemed to care, if the Peeps were even trendy

The Easter Egg Hunt ~ #NaPoWriMo #AprilWriting

Mom sent me on an egg hunt
She said look for pretty colors

But all I really wanted was
My favorite breakfast crullers

She shooed me out the door
Told me to have some fun

Bring back lots of goodies
Enough for everyone

When I got back from the meadow
Mom said, Goodness! What a mess!

What happened, what did you do?
To your brand new Easter dress?

I tried explaining carefully, how
My basket became overloaded!

And when I tried to empty it
All the eggs inside exploded!

Mom looked at me rather strangely
Then a smile came to her face

Laughing she said, it looked much better
Then it did, in the dressmaker’s place
