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!
I like it!
I haven’t forgotten, Janus. This comp is next on my list.
With seven days of effin’ snow
Who knows where all the muses go?
No snow here of course
I’m working on my ‘tour de force’
Just takes a little time
To get my words to rhyme!
Glad to hear it, Soutie, mate!
(Easter Monday’s just too late) 🙂
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!
FEEG, thank you! Sentiments we can all share! 🙂
Thanks Janus. Could you remove the superfluous “is” in the second line?
FEEG, edit done. I deleted the second ‘is’ for rumpy-pumpy reasons! 🙂
Here is my contribution, Janus:

The race is hotting up now, just like the weather…..
A little something for the ladies?

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.
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.
Papa G, I am substituting the definitive version!
