Easter Hunt

All signs of spring have arrived among the fields of yellow daisies and tall grass Basking in glory the wading birds with its white silken body and long legs Cattails burst tall with delight from the pond Dragonflies fly amongst the cattails Enjoying their flight around the pond, while Jesus bugs dart across the surface Frogs patiently waiting on their lily pads Gingerly, my little girl walks among the green grass and clover looking for Hidden Easter eggs amongst the yellow daisies, daffodils, lavender and Irises, around latticework bower intertwined with climbing fragrant flowering Jasmine in yellow, white and roses in bloom with a kiss of velvet to its petals Keeping track of all the Easter eggs she's found; she runs with her basket in hand Laughing every time, she finds one. It brings back Memories of when I was her age New memories are made with my little girl Orange, yellow, red, polka dots and stripe designs Pinks, and blues Easter eggs all scattered to be found Quickly my yorkie “Peanut” Runs around chasing my Xyla to get ahead of her, Smelling the enticing Easter eggs They are having so much fun together Until they have found all the eggs, I View my little girl in her beautiful lace White dress Xyla and Peanut our Yorkie lying beside her Zonked out from the day’s excitement Edit to fit the page, 4/13/2020 original 2/21/2015 Contest Name: Abecedarian Sponsor:Shadow Hamilton 2/21/2015 Spring Hunt All signs of spring have arrived among the fields of yellow daisies and tall green grass Basking in glory the wading birds with its white silken body and long legs Cattails burst tall with delight from the pond Dragonflies fly amongst the cattails Enjoying their flight around the pond while Jesus bugs scurry across the surface Frogs patiently waiting on their lily pads Gingerly my little girl walks among the emerald green grass and clover looking for Hidden Easter eggs amongst the yellow daisies, daffodils, lavender and Irises, around latticework bower intertwined with climbing fragrant flowering Jasmine, and yellow, white, and red roses in bloom with a kiss of velvet to its petals Keeping track of all the Easter eggs she's found; she runs with Easter basket in hand Laughing every time, she finds one.

Wonderful. I learned 2 new words: Xyla and abedecerian. If I hadn't looked it up, I would have missed the alphabet. My dog growing up was a fox terrier named Peanut. So I reviewed Bokononism from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. I can't decide if our families having dogs named Peanut growing up with children makes us a granfaloon or not. I'd like to think that it's a spiritual connection. But then I'm pretty sentimental. Cordon

Hello Cordon, I named my Yorkie "Peanut" because he was supposed to be small but he turned out to be a chunko. Peanut loves to chase my Jesyca around and I'm also pretty sentimental.

M.L. Kiser, I'm glad memories were aroused. The past 7 years I have been saving the eggshells, filling them with confetti, and money. When Easter arrives my 8 year old granddaughter and my 17 year old grandson hunt the Easter eggs just for the chase of breaking the eggs over their heads and of course the money but they have a blast. Blessings dear friend

I experienced vicariously the beauty of Spring in your very creative words my dear friend, Eve and I feel great to learn some words. By the way, it's my first time to read about Jesus bug. I'm just curious about it. Well, I'll try to google. An excellent abc poem my dear friend. I love it and I enjoyed the read. Thank you so much. love and big hugs, Leonora

Oh, okay Eve. I have one granddaughter. Daughter's are so much better at keeping in touch I think. I don't hear from my son nearly as much as I do from my three daughters.
