Easter Haiku
Poetry Contest Description
Get out your magic haiku pens --Easter's almost here!
You like springtime duckies & bunnies ?
How about half price chocolate, the day after Easter?
Are you into reverence of the Resurrection or just Zombie Jesus?
Get going on some Easter haiku! As many as you want, no collabs, load up on chocolate eggs--I don't care ; it's spring, dammit! Yay!

Haiku Of Good News
(In Haiku verse)
On Easter morning
All who call themselves Christian
Gather at sunrise
Lutherans, Baptists
Catholics and Methodists
Together as one
Ecumenical
Praise celebrate
Shout Hallelujah!
Jesus has risen
Yes, he has risen indeed!
For you, and for me
I'm feeling rather religious in a Lutheran sort of way (I sin proudly). So I'd thought I'd go spiritual.

Pagan Spring
(Haiku)
(一)
year's ancient spring rites
long before Christianity
still alive and well
(二)
Ishtar & Damuzi
freed from the Underworld
winter death-spring life
(三)
in her honour
Ēostre, goddess of spring
arrives with the hare
(四)
winter's banishment
this year's victory with spring—
light the Easter fire
(五)
renewal and rebirth—
the egg, its promise to come
germinates within
(六)
repopulating—
the hare wasting no time
'tis a custom
(七)
after the equinox
the green of springtime's riot
and eggs abound
(八)
a resurrection
sprouts of green also ascend
glories to provide
(九)
between the pillars
temple of Aphrodite—
love's aspirations

Easter egg hunter
Shhhhh be very very quiet
I'm hunting wabbits
Screwy wabbit tracks
Jellybean droppings lead me
A Daffy Duck screams
Shouts shoot da wabbit
It's said, He will rise again
He will never die
