A Different Take on the Easter Bunny

Today's blog is a little different. I wrote a poem. I haven't written a poem in a long time. But with Easter weekend combining with getting my MIL out for a walk and that all intersecting with a line-up of children waiting for a giant Easter Bunny.  Ma D was enthralled. And, I was inspired.


                                           Mortal Ties
Renewal
   Risen
 The heart of Christianity
Married up to an Easter bunny
Blue jeans, a man’s shoulders and a fuzzy rabbit-like mask
A string of excited children 
      wait
The Easter Bunny 
  Stomps through fake spring flowers
    taking his oversized place 
            seated for the camera
    A string of excited children
                                                    wait
   She smiles as she watches
Her skin crepe-like
        sagging
  She shifts for a better view
     Her knees aching
As she watches
Loving the children
And knowing that 
    Time waits for no mortal
      And still 
            she watches
