Alyssa was caught in the act!

I thought it was safe, and no one was near

When all of a sudden, I saw Mommy dear

She had a hand on her hip, and a look in her eye

She caught me red handed, all I did was sigh

It’s a habit I have, each year, with a bunny

I bite off his ears, it makes him look funny

I know it’s not nice, but I don’t do it very often

Besides, it’s no good, if the chocolate does soften

                                 ++++

It only happens on Easter, and it brings her such bliss

So, Happy Easter to you, from chocolate-faced Lys!

 

*No real bunnies were harmed during the writing of this poem… I can’t speak for the chocolate ones, though.  😉

Whispers of wonder, beyond shadows, fall

Prismatic glow adorns the darkened trees

Lost to the wind, among mountains tall

Here is my heart, standing strong and free

Basking in the light, of the afternoon sun

I feel the warmth on my face, and it’s grand

How perfectly aligned I am, but not yet done

I still have much more I must understand

Flowers in the distance, seem to call my name

Across the lush green grasses, I wander closer

As I walk this sacred land, my soul is mine to claim

To this symphony, I am, my own composer

The forest sings to me, I’m as calm as I can be

Far beyond the realm of my command

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

This Cinquain might be disturbing to some, and I apologize for that.  But no one can justify taking the life of a child, or any human being, under any condition…


Senseless

The ways of war

Ravaging innocence

Inexplicable brazenness

Murder

Sneaking up behind her, just as quietly as could be

Some gremlins come a ‘calling, for those cookies

They don’t want to scare her, so, patiently, they wait

Perhaps, she’ll notice them, or else it be too late

These little guys are hungry, she’s an impediment

Sweets are all they need, for a little nourishment

They have to grab the box, then safely get away

Hoping she won’t chase them, they don’t want to play

Still, she doesn’t see them, the closer they become

Almost there, not too much more, to steal a cookie crumb

No, they say, they want it all, of this they have no doubt

And so this ends the tale, of the gremlins and Girl Scout
