APRIL and POETRY MONTH....Day 5

 


It’s 4:00am and I’m awake.  It’s weird how I wake up at odd times at night. 
Yesterday on Easter Sunday our word of the day was EASTER.  I had already done an acrostic prior to seeing the word; but for my challenge piece composed what Easter is not. In fact in both my acrostic and challenge piece I said it all in few words.  
I felt like doing an acrostic on the word   EGG and PEEPS. In EGGS I described chocolate eggs being gooey and delicious; being glad Easter is once a year because of them. In PEEPS I reflected upon how you either love them or hate them. 
Like a few days ago I wrote the wacky holidays as a thought in one writing. 
Yesterday I got to see my husband at rehab.  He seemed to be okay but misses me.  I miss him too.  I cried in the car after I left for about five minutes.  It was hard for me.  Today I call to make another visit.  I was in a funk the rest of the day.  Hopefully I’ll be okay today. 
Seems poetry month is going well so far. Yesterday to cheer me I read some Dorothy Parker.  She seemed to cheer me with a few of her poems but mainly her quotes.  My favorite has always been about martinis.  Seems like her two martinis are my limit.  
Until tomorrow....it’s Monday and the start of a new week; as always Stay Safe.

                            EGG 
Easter eggs....chocolate cream filled 
Gooey....and oh so delicious 
Grateful....Easter is once a year

                      PEEPS 
Peeps a yellow marshmallow candy
Easter treat some enjoy; some don’t 
Every year I think about buying them
Perhaps one year I will; but not this year 
Stale and harden one way many enjoy

                     EASTER 
Easter is a glorious day of rejoicing 
As our Lord risen from the tomb
Seems many just see it as another 
    Sunday
They don’t reflect on what the day 
     means 
Enjoying egg hunts and baskets of 
    treats left by Peter Cottontail 
Realizing not it’s Jesus rising from the 
   dead that is what Easter is about

               WHAT EASTER IS

Easter....more than coloring eggs
   and the hunt for eggs
Easter....is not the pastel colors 
  or the new bonnet women wear 
Nor is it about Peter Cottontail 
  bringing baskets with colorful straw
   filled with chocolate bunnies....
    cream filled eggs....marshmallow 
         peeps....jelly beans 
Easter is not wearing of an orchid 
    corsage or the scent of hyacinths 
It’s not the feast of ham eaten for 
     dinner
Easter is the day our Lord risen from 
     the dead
  A day to rejoice and be glad

           WACKY DAY APRIL 4th
(Easter Sunday; Jeep 4X4 Day; World 
  Rat Day; Tell a Lie Day; Hug a 
  Newsman Day; Plum Pudding Day;
  National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day 
   and National Vitamin C Day)

                EASTER SUNDAY

Easter Sunday I plan to ride to church 
   in my Jeep
Thinking of having Chicken Cordon Bleu and plum pudding as an Easter 
    dinner
A glass of orange juice with 
    champagne, mimosas tasty 
Sure different from having the tradition 
       ham 
I like changes now and then

              MY THOUGHT 
Funny how world rat day,
  hug a newsman day and
  tell a lie day all fall on the
   same day
Like many I feel some news people are
   big rats who lie at times
