EASTER

“Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings.” —W.H. Auden

“Meraki: (V.) To do something with soul, creativity, or love; to leave a piece and essence of yourself in your work.”

There is no better definition of what I’m doing as I write these stories in prose than that described above by W.H. Auden. I sure have plenty of mixed feelings and this little poem is my attempt at expressing them. It’s an expression of my feelings about Easter.

Easter

In the showery month of April each and every year,
An event is celebrated by millions who hold it very dear.
This event is said to have happened two thousand years ago,
And millions of people still celebrate it with their hearts all aglow.

This celebration happens on Sunday, following the first moon that’s full
After the spring equinox, which signifies night and day have equal pull.
