Doris Culverhouse Poet Free verse

Green Grass

Hard boiled egg shell dyed
Decorated with pastells and crayons
double dip for a richer color
Festive

Little feet running and searching
Baskets overloaded
Depositing candy along the way
Bunny hopscotch, ring toss
Bendy bunny, bunny ink pens
Carrot pick up sticks
Egg shaped chocolates

Remember the everlasting life
Remember the blood and 
Remission of sins
Remember you must be born again.

Larry Belt February 19, 2010 at 2:27 AM This is a great write because Easter means so much to all of us......For the grandchildren, with the Easter baskets and egg coloring.......and to all of the rest of us, to know that we serve a Risen Savior because the tomb is empty.....It's kinda worrisome to make sure we emphasize the Truth to our children and not just the candy and egg hunts......Larry

Carolyn Devonshire February 17, 2010 at 1:34 PM Jumping jackrabbits! What a delightful Easter poem, Doris. The store shelves are already filled with Easter candy and I love chocolate whether it's shaped like an egg or a bunny. But you bring us back to the true meaning of the holiday in your last verse so nicely. Great work! Love, Carolyn
