Best Seasonseaster Poems
green eggs on gravestones
with Easter baskets for two
I wonder aloud
Perhaps it’s the position of the sun
Its direction now slightly changed
Offering a new perspective of fun
And it’s the recede of winter snow from the earth
The relief of endless shoveling and wearing of boots
And stirring of rebirth
And the tracking of soil with muck under heel
It’s the hope of blossoms making an appearance on the trees
The vision of endless flowers blooming with appeal
The ever-tenuous advance of the tulips tips in the March breeze
The promise of warmer weather
Emerald pastures emerging where there was brownness
Baby birds snuggled in their feathered retreat
It’s the Easter holiday and new apparel with shinny shoes
It’s the arrival of animals that once lay fast asleep
It’s the vision of hope and change to bring us cheer
And the laughter while digging in your basket for those yellow peeps
Why love spring?
It’s in the air
Rainfall
in the desert
regenerate the fern-
Rose of Jericho awakens
again
Note:The "Rose of Jericho" originates from the deserts of Israel, between Jerusalem and the
Dead Sea, The lowest point on Earth. It was during the middle-ages, that Crusaders first
found this plant. They noted its remarkable ability to be "brought back to life" after giving
every appearance of being dead and dried. The knights returned with it to Europe, and
sanctified the plant, naming it the "Resurrection Plant".
It is an ancient custom, to let the Rose-of-Jericho open up for Christmas and Easter and
surprise little children with this miracle.
Easter is a time
for change, sunshine,
but where's the sun,
as I look out my,
window this easter
morining, what is this
I see, not more snow,
rain is ok, but
snow no, snow I
thought I had seen
the last of you
but you just keep
coming so white
is the ground as
snow flakes keep
falling and falling.
They say if it
rains easter sunday
for seven sundays
we shall have rain.
Does this mean
that now for seven
sundays we shall have
snow falling on us?
Sun last few weeks
you have been so
kind to us ,please
pay us a visit.
Once again and
bring comfort to
these old bones of
mine once again.
They say we need
the moisture, so
rain wake up and
please fall on us, once again.
