Easter Snap

By Lawrence “Mack in Texas” Hall

On Easter Monday even an undiscovered egg

Seems to shiver under the blue-streaked sky at dawn

Still hiding beneath the trellised flowering rose

Where the ants and worms are blanketed for warmth

But we are promised sunlight soon enough

And small children in pursuit of butterflies or dreams

Will delight at the sight of one last treat

An egg-ucopia of chocolate sweet

A snap-open egg ‘til then undetected

And all the more fun because unexpected!

What do you think?
