Easter


Pink and blue
and lilac
Easter is yellow.
Candy, candles
and food.
People prepare
for color
and sunlight
Jesus,
singular friend.
Eggs the color of sky,
milky white
and fragile
A celebration
pulsating

Gave me chill bumps, that's my quality detector for a fine slew of words.

This poem really describes easter for me, except you forgot to add, skip church, Sam barfed, and Mouse and George shot the silly string from their easter baskets all over me, in bed, to wake me up. I will never get all of that shit out of the grooves on my headboard. Lord, on second thought, I could have done without those things too.

Your poem is perfect just the way it is, you know, the above drivel was a poor attempt at being humorous on my part.

xxxooo
