Easter bunny sent his eldest to me to brag
Her name was Charlene, she had one small snag
I created this wreath but I have a problem too
The back keeps slipping, so we added glue
I flipped it over and helped her fix the wreath
She was so grateful, she grinned with a whole set of teeth
So, your name is Charlene, I said. She nodded her head.
What’s your Daddy doing these days? He’s probably in bed.
Oh CHAMELEON,
you have changed over the years.
You were such a tease to me,
I loved talking with you.
WOW you are the Easter Bunny.
There once was an Easter Bunny
Who only came out when it's sunny
When it started to rain
Eggs went down the drain
And the kids didn't think it was funny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel who wanted to be a bunny,
He dyed Easter eggs pastel and, oh so yummy.
His name was Eddie, quick as DoorDash*
And wore pink fluffy ears quite brash.
He hopped around, called himself Sunny.
But his hops proved a farcical fail,
His acrobatics turned tails pale~
He stored nuts in his cheeks,
And developed a twitchy mystique.
‘cause he drank too much Easter-themed ale!

rabbit
cottontail soul
staring at me with fear
fearing that it sees a menace
freezes
Purple Easter bunny, with your jazzy ways
Rainbow hair, and eggs painted in reds and grays
Pastel colors are not your thing, I guess
I hate to say this, but your hair is a mess
mom easter bunny
laying her eggs in the field
finds springtide hatchling
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
Our excited Easter Bunny was a woman this year
She popped in and threw eggs around, full of cheer
She has quite a fluffy tail, my daddy said
Mommy gave him a look that nearly struck him dead
The eggs she left were decorated in glitter with touches of gold
Some were vintage in green art deco, others just looked old
We ate the ears and heads off our chocolate bunnies right away
This will be a great day! I heard my grandma say
She was heading to the kitchen to fix us potatoes and ham.
No one can cook better than our favorite cook, Grandma Gram.
Mommy followed her in, probably to learn her secret recipe.
I already knew it, for she had shared it with me.
Daddy said “isn’t it time for church?” I ran up those stairs
For my new Easter frock was gorgeous; I put on airs
You are a beauty, Grandma said. What a gorgeous dress!
At the church we said a prayer for Daddy, for he is a mess.
He’s a good mess, Grandma said. Afterall, he is her son.
And he is my hero, my Daddy, and a lot of fun.
He would have a difficult time sitting silently here.
Church is not for my chatty loud Daddy dear.
Easter Bunny Warning
the Easter Bunny
had a warning
he was tired
of being played the fool
tired of being associated
with low-life
fake Christians
proclaiming that Donald Trump
is the next Messiah
the easter bunny said,
Donald Trump
ain’t no Christian
he ain’t no friend of mine
he is the anti-Christ
the poster child
for the seven deadly sins
Donald Trump denounced
The Easter Bunny
saying on truth social
“the Easter Bunny is nothing
but a thug
a low life wanna be
a real loser
a communist, Marxist, fascist
radical left-wing vermin thug
part of the woke crowd
that is ruining our once-great country
that needs a Second Amendment remedy.
EASTER BUNNY OF FLORIDA
God sends gifts to sensitive hearts.
My grandson left his pets behind
as we travelled from familiar parts
of Georgia to Florida. God is kind.
Muffin, given the first name of Stud
by my grand’s dad. A small bunny
in the tiny yard, was the color of mud.
God’s gifts, better than money.
The cottontail posed under the palm.
My grand wanted to take Muffin home.
The rabbit was his after Easter balm.
Then away he hopped as we drove home.
Grandson returns to his bunny, Buck,
and to his feral cat, Lily, who oft’ hides
under his parents quilt, surely awestruck
at the return of their family. Love abides.
An old man thought he saw the Easter Bunny
He had a tail, and he hopped a bit funny
He was with his wife Jean
She said- what do you mean?
That's a squirrel that's hopping around, Hunny
The Easter Bunny's hopping mad
as someone's pinched his eggs,
he said when he finds out their name
he plans to smack their legs -
but now all's well, he's found the spot
(he'd hidden them himself)
so now he's put them in plain sight:
all lined up on his shelf.
Easter bunny is delivering eggs of course.
But he is also bringing us a duck, salamander and a horse.
In his small satchel? Asked our mother in surprise.
Unsure, but he should be here right after sunrise.
Easter bunny was riding the horse when they arrived.
It was a balmy morning, and everyone was eagerly alive.
Yellow baby chicks were popping out of his satchel and bag.
Plus, a salamander, duck, and a magical miniature hag.
Are there eggs? Someone asked. There were and they were pretty.
Several artists had stayed up for weeks painting them in New York City.
Easter Bunny asked us to please take some chicks and maybe the duck.
The duck is out of control, In Delaware he tried stealing a truck!
A small piece of paper with a written clue
Mom used to say: "The Easter Bunny left it there for you"
Sometimes I wondered if it was really true?
Out in the garden, how many eggs will I find?
Searching high and low, leaving none behind
On the grass, between the flower bed
Chocolate coated eggs lay scattered, yellow, pink and red
Behind the apple tree, to my surprise!
Out hops the Bunny, with his ruby red eyes!
Pink floppy ears and a furry disguise!
This is the truth, it ain't no lies!
I saw it all with my own two eyes!
Dragging his basket with his short fat legs
He got such a fright and ran away without his easter eggs!
Now I no longer wonder if it's true...
The small piece of paper with the written clue
I know for sure the Easter Bunny puts it there for me and you!

The bunny came and hid the eggs
since he’s mammal the question begs
where did they come from?
did he buy lump sum?
wonder what he’d do with frog legs?
What’s with the chicks following him?
maybe they’re there on a wild whim
difference in age?
large, I’d wage
but I am not a judge of them.
Then there is the most obvious question
if Easter Bunny is male, concession,
how could he lay an egg
down his long trouser leg?
I think I need a therapy session.
