2011 Poetry Theme Challenges#08 Easter Parade |
|
Hello Poets; In the Northern Hemisphere spring has well and truly sprung and the human celebrations of life and rejuvenation are at their height. A few weeks ago there was the Vernal equinox of Ostara and Easter is this weekend. So the challenge this time is celebrating life, its beauty, its wonder and if you want to its less than beautiful aspects too. Life is glorious let’s shout it out! Happy Quilling and Blessings to All Jem XXXX |
Easter Parade

Divena CollinsChocolate Easter eggs are so sublime While fondant rabbits can taste Divine Hot cross buns are just an easter joy There to tease me in my dreaded ploy Easter has been and no more treats Chocolate buttons or fondant sweets For now I`m afraid I just have to fast And a few more pounds I need to cast. Allowed some fruit and all good things Plenty of veg and some rabbitty food I have salad falling out of my ears And plenty of water to drink I fears Instead of eating a fine easter roast I shall just have to eat beans on toast. No more sugar in all of my drinks Nor even on cereal they say I think. Must do excercise just to keep me fit My computer mouse here is part of it I can swing around sitting on my chair And move around fast with zest and flair I sway to fast music whenever I type To keep myself active extremely hype Lost a few pounds but thats no good Only from my purse for comfort food No meatless fat, only fatless meat There is nothing else I enjoy to eat No more puddings I have to say no Even cakes and biscuits too must go. And when I now hear a musical van I must say no, to the ice cream man If I could only have just one wish I`d say no more, for I`m sick of fish, When I reach my goal what then? Plenty of room to binge yet again.  |
Peggy NelsonDay before Easter old dog lay still on floor She’s our dog love her after she does her chore family Mom needs help with eggs for company Josh drew on eggys bright for guest of many Looked in room at josh and dog, Mom thought funny Saying to Josh, meant basket eggy’s honey thought you said color Eggy for tomorrow Look Mommy! Eggy our Dog is pretty now  ----- Deer Emotions - Mathnawi Emotions pouring down like a blue raindrop Watching muddy Bunny Rabbits cleanse, then hop Emotions carried to a land of wonder Why, alone and melting away like a deer? Wondering what In the world did she did wrong Forsaken, melting like an old time blues song Dwelling where devils color emotions red Red, blue flames bringing deer to fight psyche dead Those with no care on Easter Day be haunted Each Easter Day from flames of deer not wanted  ----- Eggy Just Laid To Easter Eggs  ----- Happy Easter  back to list |
