Sometimes a writing challenge is good for us all. It takes us out of our comfort zone and encourages us to try different ways of writing. So it was for me with @Jessicalynnt 's latest Sudden Death Poetry Challenge.
The aim is to write a poem, in less than an hour, using these five words - spring, bunny, egg, basket, grow.
So here it is folks, my attempt to complete the task from a New Zealand perspective.
The Easter Bunny feels confused
down in this southern land,
He shakes his head at all the eggs
that make the shelves look grand.
Autumn really makes it hard
to step out with a spring,
he's done his dash and wants to rest,
too tired for another fling.
But northern customs must be held
as he watches chocolate piles grow,
he can't let all those sweet tooths down,
so springs forth with basket in tow.
Happy Easter
Thanks for the challenge Jessica Have you had a go at this yet?

From cold regions to those warm and sunny
I keep reading about this Easter bunny
In South Africa, the home of the eland
And now it appears in New Zealand
So now I am beginning to wonder
With these bunnies appearing down under
Are these different bunnies you are spotting
Or is this Easter bunny globe trotting?
