A Day of Rest

Two of my poems (first drafts) were discussed on Rattle’s Critique of the Week this week. Watch this video to share in this exciting learning experience:

Today being Sunday, there is no A to Z. Here is my poem in response to the prompts at NaPoWriMo and Writer’s Digest’s Poem a Day Challenge.

Easter Bunny

Little brown bunny
sitting by the mailbox
where did you hide those eggs?
I don’t want to work for them
not for the green one with stickers
not for the pink one with wax resist flowers
not for the sky-blue one with sparkles
I want to rest into this day
the potato salad is made
and all I have to do is get dressed
show up and be
Oh, fuzzy brown bunny
greeting me at the end of the driveway
where do you get eggs anyway?

Come back tomorrow for more depth exploration and poetry.
And for those of you celebrating, Happy Easter!
