home Poem List next poem Easter Bunnies When we were small, bunnies were everywhere There was song and dance, laughter filled our life We were taught to dream about hope and care To dream of hopping bunnies without strife Wondering where the bunnies hid their eggs Painted with colorful blotches, stars and stripes Bunnies left no footprints beneath their legs When placing eggs 'neath leaves or nests of snipes Animals developed personal ties Puppies and birds became our travel friends When we ran through fields chasing butterflies Landing on flowers wavering in winds Wondering if bunnies perhaps could fly Frolicking clouds their happiness and fun Hopping from fantastic clouds in the sky Like birds they would bound to the ground we run Hoping to find these bunnies with baskets Filled with their sweet chocolates and candies Even the dead would open their caskets Dancing with bunnies like hope filled dandies Children spent hours just learning how to draw These fanciful characters of the mind Being taught as we were, in all that we saw Beneath poor coal, great diamonds we would find (c)ERA 06:13 AM 4/20/03
