A White Rabbit Hid Eggs

A White rabbit came into my yard
He carried many baskets in his arms
All loaded with many Easter eggs
At first he stood like a statue
Then sprang to hide his eggs

When he was done-like a flash
He hip-hopped and then left
My nephew's came to find eggs
They were eager to begin
Looking for the Easter eggs

They were happy and thrilled
All boys had baskets to fill
Happy and excited, laughing
Each looking for their treats
That the white bunny hid

I think you are the White Rabbit and you hid the eggs for your nephews to find. What a great fun game for them to play.

Hello Jan,I got the idea for the poem,from watching a rabbit sitting very still in the yard. That was when the poem came to me to write.

Hello Darlene. I just came from your emotional and loving tribute to your friend and now I cam across a happy and feel good entry of Easter and the rabbit. How lovely and adorable is this. Very. Your words flow and we are all in the scene looking on. Well done throughout.
