Suddendeath poetry challenge, Ode to Easter

Tweet

Welcome to this weekend’s Suddendeath poetry challenge, Ode to Easter. Rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you (could bold them for ease in others to find). Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other’s. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are: spring, bunny, egg, basket, grow My entry is below: ------------------------------------------------------- Spring in the step, basket in hand, Looking for eggs, isn’t Easter grand? Found a chocolate bunny, all covered with ants. Dropped basket for running, bugs all over pants. Oh joy fire ants, watch the hives grow. Candy going everywhere, flying to and fro, Cat saw basket landing, helped himself to eggs. Couldn’t help but pounce, on swiftly moving legs. Dog saw cat going bounding, had to join the chase. Cat saw dog a’coming, and took off to join the race. A reckoning was coming, between those two and I. My legs they barreled into, and I went flying high. I landed in the wading pool, with splash and frowning face, With limbs a’flying, and lack of calming grace.
