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

This poem, I sigh, is the last one
For M‘s crazy month of prompts

She had us going everywhere
With verses, quite the romp!

We wrote of purple nurples
And pink poodles, those crazy pups

Myrtle just kept moaning, poor gal
With Guzzling Gary, we couldn’t keep up

I could just go on and on
In fact, I’m pretty sure I did

Time to wrap this poetry
On top, I’ve put the lid

It all amounted to simply this
Fizzy Whizzys and Galloping Gadzooks

Now, it’s time to end this poetic March
Think I’ll down some Jamba Juice!

Sunrise paints the morning sky

Exposing colors, soft in hue

Lifts the mists, that wander by

Exposing waters, ever blue

Orange wisps, to light the day

In the valley, where life is grand

As darkness sails on by, gives way

To the heavens, floating, above the land

This is the time when the world renews

Tis a gift from God, this day, anew

He was betrayed

By those he loved

Left alone, to fend

Against the human

Demons who sought

After him, betrayed

By ones he thought

He could lay his trust

Isn’t it funny though

How we still carry on

This way, afraid to do

What’s right, until

It all goes wrong

And then we beg

His forgiveness…

Mr. Bunny hops, here and there

Hurry scurry, with nary a care

He has to gather colored eggs

For little Johnny, Mike and Peg

Baskets filled with grasses, green

And every color in between

Chocolates that seem never melt

Marshmallow peeps, expand your belt

Jelly beans, to send the sugar rush higher

He’s racing around, to fill your desires

When everything’s ready, he’ll be headed your way

Please leave a carrot for him, this Easter Sunday
