Grandma's Egg Hunt
Grandma’s Egg Hunt
Karyn Indursky
2013
Parading marbled eggs in a red truck
With speckled eggs dancing
From toy cats nudging them
And sponge printed eggs lead
The way with hats upon their painted faces…
Across the living room
They marched with Peter Rabbit
Dictating orders to follow the yellow brick road.
Upon the golden brick road
The Tin Man met up with Peter Rabbit
Giving him plucked purple flowers
In a crystal vase for Dorothy.
Peter Rabbit skipped beats
Down the way to the Scarecrow,
Who contributed to a toy chick
And set in his basket with milk chocolate lollipops.
Peter Rabbit picked
candied apples, pineapples, green grapes,
And a half open coconut to make Dorothy
Her fruit basket.
With edible cherry plastic wrap
He decorated his gift and put
A bow upon it.
The Cadbury Bunny was nearby
And helped Peter Rabbit deliver
Her treasures.
He took out his dark chocolate basket
With vanilla butterflies, strawberry sunflowers,
Black cherry dragonflies, and starburst roses.
Going through the woods
There was the Wicked Witch,
Who wanted to steal the goodies
And devour Peter Rabbit and the Cadbury Bunny.
The Wicked Witch laughed as plotted
To put Little Red Robinhood in a coma,
Stealing Grandma’s treats,
Making Peter Rabbit and Cadbury Bunny stew,
And Dorothy was a plump ripe peach
To added to her delicious peach cobbler pie.
It wasn’t to be for when
The Fairy God Mother was awakened
By Little Red Robinhood’s tears,
Screaming Peter Rabbit, the shrieking Cadbury Bunny,
And Grandma crying in her Easter painted house
With the wolf singing his Easter Meal Delicacies.
The Fairy God Mother turned the Wicked Witch
Into a puddle of water to help grow
Grandma’s orchids and she made an amazing fertilizer.
Dorothy was altered back to
Being a girl and shared Easter Goodies
With the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Peter Rabbit, and Cadbury Bunny.
Easter creativity painted skies…
True friendship united hearts…
Parading Easter spirit.
