Poetry Contest

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!

Porphyry church porch
A last smoke before breeze
And I squeeze inside

It really does
Feel so good to see the kids
On their own egg hunt.

Can someone tell me
When Jesus gained the power
To shit fudgie eggs?

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.

I don't want to eat,
yet another chocolate egg,
but I can't help it!

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

Maybe you should go to a Chocoholics Anonymous meeting or two.

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

Will he rise again
She wants the second coming
She's down on her knees

Risen from the dead
Feast on the flesh for new life
Jesus? No, zombies
