Best Easter Lily Poems
It's a burst of spring
the Easter Parade of hues!
Lilies dance on streets
in creams and reds, deep green phase
dazed orange yellow bliss maze.
Heartbeat of rebirth
while the flaming redbird sings
amidst subtle scents.
Colorful celebration
Garden party location.
a bold message
from the Easter lily
blooms fade quickly
hope of resurrection
lies underground in the bulb
Easter Lily
Pure Easter lily
blood, sweat and tears of Jesus
Gethsemane born
4/19/17
Easter lilies bloomed
where His sweat fell to the ground
hope of Christ's return
a garden pure white
life everlasting
By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
*The Easter lily symbolizes purity, hope and life.
Tradition has it that lilies were growing in the Garden of
Gethsemane after Christ's crucifixion, and lilies
bloomed where his sweat fell, the hope of everlasting life.
The Easter lily welcomes spring, it tells me the long cold winter was a fling. Their closed pods start to open up, showing their beautiful faces-giving me a look closeup.
Show your long petals as your face, it makes me want to put you in a pretty vase. Your green leaves, are easy to weave. The Easter lily welcomes Easter and the Maker, a time for a new birth in man and creator. Each year I know when the lily has arrived, that spring has now revived.

From winter’s doldrums drab and dark,
the sight of you ignites a spark.
You fill my heart with ecstasy
of fun-filled days for fantasy.
Your full, fresh, face flush, lily-white
remind of Christ’s whose shone with light,
on Sunday’s resurrection morn,
the day when hope for man was born.
Your trumpet shape heralds a time
of hope-filled days pursuing prime.
Your purity reflecting light
banishes gloom of winter’s night.
I long to see your smiling face
and have you grace my dwelling place
with fragrant scent so sweet and strong,
which fills my heart with Easter’s song.
Eden’s garden manifest
Disgraceful sins confessed
Lily footprints scattered
Nutrient droplets pattered
Eve, deprived of paradise
Exiles ultimate price
Misdeeds penance pour
Tethered tis utopian door
Devious snake most elated
Abiding piousness over-rated
Resentful of mortal campaign
Relished serpentine reign
Aromas pierce thru deceit
Flowerbed mornings greet
Thwart desires craved
Embosom allure saved

After winter’s doldrums, drab and dark,
the sight of you spells days filled with light.
You fill my heart with the ecstasy
of fun-filled days for fantasy.
Your full, fresh, face, flush, lily-white
remind of Christ’s who’s shone with light,
on that Sunday resurrection morn,
the day when hope for mankind dawned.
Your trumpet shape heralds a note
of hope-filled days pursuing pleasure.
Your purity reflecting light
dispels the dark of winter’s gloom.
I long to see your smiling face
and have you grace my humble dwelling
with fragrant scent so sweet and strong,
reminding me of God’s great grace.
