Hello Poetry Lovers
Happy Easter to you. 
I expect like Christmas, childhood Easters come back to you. Weren’t the Easter Eggs much better then?! I got some fabulous ones – shaped like a clock and a house. 
They’re so bland these days, I haven’t even seen one in a mug! We used those for a long time after Easter.
I’ve cobbled a little piece together to put how tantalising those eggs were sitting there until Easter Sunday. Just a fun piece (and I think I’ve invented a new form!).
Read on and Happy Easter…..
Hot Cross buns on Good Friday
chocolate eggs still out of range
but what I found really strange
was why it’s a normal day on Saturday ?!
Easter Eggs boxed and silver wrapped
sitting there on the family sideboard
my own personal cherished hoard
they had charm everything else lacked
being schooless was an extra joy
and gave the excuse to savour more
those chocolate objects by the back door
only surpassed by Christmas and toys
I did say it was cobbled together!
Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry adventures real soon. In the meantime, enjoy your Easter…

Surely ‘school-less’ has two Ls?
Re rhymes: Friday rhymes with high day or in my day, but not with pay, obey, say, neigh, dismay. And Saturday rhymes with latter-day and possibly with matinee and What can the matter be? It doesn’t rhyme with pay, obey etc.
Of course what I call “near-rhymes” like cows, mouse, mouths, Faust are widespread and not wholly useless in poetry, and much used by Simon Armitage. But let’s always ask ourselves, are they near enough to work well?
