we who loved America
We who loved America (second part)
I enjoyed America and remember touring
a Sunday outside Houston (Texas), met in a café
a group of openly armed, elderly men
they were courteous people one could meet
I understood guns have cultural meaning
in America, we in Europe don't understand
I remember a saying, "A country where the populace
is armed, people are polite."
I stayed on the ship longer than needed but had
to go home and get educated, I studied management
and later ran a restaurant
I was never at ease in my...

Easter
Soon,the white rabbit will appear.
And Easter will make it here.
Chocolates will stock up the shelves.
And will chase away the Christmas elves.
I'll dye my egg blue.
Pink,orange,red.
The weather is perfect today.
And I can't wait to celebrate with family all day.
So take my hand and let me say.
That maybe,on a sunny day.
We will chase the dark thoughts away.
We will all celebrate this special day.
Let every child have a new toy.
Let it be happiness for any girl or boy.
We will dye the first egg red. ...

House of Charades, Easter Sunday

An uncanny, anachronistic testament to the

WHAT IS EASTER FOR ME
Hi to all participating in my competition on WHAT IS EASTER FOR YOU?
To have all understand and why I believe the way I do is because I'm Catholic.
To understand Easter is to understand the beginning of it.
Starting on Ash Wednesday day
Why is Ash Wednesday before Easter?
In the Christian tradition, Ash Wednesday marks the start of the holy season of Lent, a time for reflection and repentance in preparation for the celebration of Easter. Christians from many denominations recognize the holy season for 40 days leading up to Easter. ...

After the Eggs & Baskets are Claimed
As dusk descends upon their glen
Reclining near a fire cozy & bright
The Easter bunnies settle in
With tasty chocolates & sweets
And best of all, favorite tales to tell
of the children on their streets
Joyfully discovering the tokens of love
Scattered by the rabbit pair.

The Teaching about Easter Is Falsehood
I will make this a short composition.
Easter means nothing at all to me.
I do not observe Easter traditions.
Do you know the root of Easter?
Easter is in fact a pagan celebration.
The Bible does not mention Easter.
Good Friday is not in the Scriptures.
Easter Sunday is not in the Bible,
Neither is Easter Monday in the bible.
Bunny rabbit is not linked to Jesus Christ,
Neither is Easter egg linked to him.
Who came up with such foolishness?

The Awakening of Easter
In spring’s embrace, where dawn’s light unfurls,
Hope whispers of renewal, a world re-pearled.
Easter beckons with a promise so grand,
A journey of rebirth across the land.
The Earth herself in splendor does wake,
Clad in life, for heaven’s sake.
Buds bloom forth with eager trust,
Rising from the winter’s dust.
In this season, tales old and new weave,
A dance of light, shadows relieve.
Balance restored, day equals night,
In Druidic rites, a sacred sight.
From winter’s silence, we step into song,
Under skies...

Ambrosia Emotion
Early in the morning,
Early in the morning,
I had the thought
of sweet ambrosia.
Like a daily psalm
found in the Café Poem.
Tacked to a wall
where there was much
discussion on my mother.
An Easter morning long forgotten
and all that was poured in it.
The thought disappears into my sinew,
my sinew opens with the sweet aroma.
The aroma keeps burrow deep in my bones.

Chocolate Bunnies
To me Easter is very similar to Thanksgiving. Lots of amazing food, desserts and family who I enjoy to be around. I am NOT a religious person at all. My immediate family aren't either. Just like Xmas, there is no true celebration in the deep meaning of what these holidays are about. It's more of a food orgy and welcoming family I don't see to often.
When I was a little kid, the house was decorated with plastic eggs, Easter bunnies, ornate, colorful, flowery decor's (purples, light greens, pink) for spring and other nick-knacks. My mother would try & encourage my...

The Rising...
Easter is a fabulous time of year
Spring is in the air
Sun shines bright
Flowers bloom
It's feeling fresh
But something isn't right
For someone is dying, lying on a cross
He is in hell and no one can help
He is carrying the burden
The weight of our sins
But with death comes life
A sense of beginning
Renewal
Salvation
Starting over
The best part of Easter is...
Knowing he has risen
Born again
A man you can't put down
After your resurrection
You reigned for forty days - ...

THE TRUTH OF SPRING
Time ticks faster for winter
For what's left of it,
Soon will disappear
Two seasons that bond in a locket.
Spring slowly forms a ring
Around many fields
Posies, posies as birds chirp and sing
Miles of soft warmth to blossom hills
Trees swift and dance
Leaves rhythm with winds breeze
An immaculate nominance
That triggers a serenity, Reese.
Pastels that enrich nature's touch
Easter is soon to transition its true colors
That is promised to us through Jesus's cross
Teaching us Faith,...
