Jeff Kyser Poet Rhyme

Easter Laugh

Entombed in the winter
to burst forth in April;
their petals bear shadows
of crosses and nails.
Some think Augusta;
I image Golgatha:
bread of life broken
and all that entails.

Gloried reminder of
what comes right after,
the dogwoods in springtime
burst into full bloom.
Moriah spared Isaac,
rejoicing with laughter,
Abraham’s seed springs forth,
prepares a room.

Panagiota Romios April 10, 2022 at 9:54 AM Jeff, you are a mind- blowing poet. With a fantastic scholastic background that is sooo apparent to me. Your Biblical knowledge, serves you well. I find you a sparkling, inspirational poet. A joy to read. Pangie xo Jeff Kyser April 10, 2022 at 10:50 AM Thank, Pangie, I’m glad you enjoyed it, your comments are kind!

L Milton Hankins April 10, 2022 at 8:18 AM The only tree in my front yard is a dogwood, small and twisted, it bears out the old legend. It was hit hard by the late freeze, but I'm still hopeful it can bloom out this year. Nice writing, Jeff. Jeff Kyser April 10, 2022 at 10:51 AM Hope so too. our are in the woods, most are not well formed, under the shade of other trees. I wish we had some pinks out here too…
