Easter poetry competition

Yes, it’s a special Easter this year, with a new man at the Italian Head Office n’ all. Such stuff that poets’ dreams are made on indeed!

But let’s not confine our flights of fancy to an Argentinian supernaturalist or those nibbled chocolate animals – however much we feel for them.

Your task, cherished poets, should you wish to toy with it, is to dream about Easter – past, present or future. Any take, any style – so long as you serve up your creations at the breakfast table for Backside’s traditional Eostre egg-fest, suitably soft-boiled, scrambled or fried over-easy, on Sunday 31st March; a mere Soutie-hop away, I aver.

Jugged hare and fluffy chick soufflè for the winner!

  1. No snow here of course
    I’m working on my ‘tour de force’
    Just takes a little time
    To get my words to rhyme!

  2. Short but sweet?

    When you are an Easter Bunny
    It is really not all that funny
    When there is snow all around
    Your bits are too near the ground
    Oh, how I wish it was sunny!

  3. Janus :

    FEEG, thank you! Sentiments we can all share! :-)

    Thanks Janus. Could you remove the superfluous “is” in the second line?

  4. If you really think upon it
    its really astronomic
    how Jesus was bionic
    and made the Easter parade;
    so wear your hat or bonnet
    and sing this Easter sonnet;
    its really quite euphonic
    at the Easter parade.

  5. The definitive version is separately posted (I have tweaked the 2nd and 3rd lines.) Come to think of it there must have been a lot of tweaking in the tomb.
