The Shell Game
Poetry for Easter
This is for Mikeydred's April Challenge and Natasha's poetry prompt.
Happy Easter, everyone.
🥚🌸🥚💐🥚🌷🥚✨🥚🌼🥚🎀🥚🌈🥚🐇🥚
In threads of gold straw, the crowned eggs lay,
Their pastel shells so soft, an art
Each one sends hope and grace this day
Love for all in its warm heart.
🥚🌸🥚💐🥚🌷🥚✨🥚🌼🥚🎀🥚🌈🥚🐇🥚
Young children hunt with gleaming eyes
Each one lights a tiny spark
Not for chocolate or a prize---
For something warm, and a new start.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Cheers for the challenge. My warm wishes.
Well-wrought, Michelle! My kids have outgrown Easter Egg hunts, but we've fond memories nestled in the crooks between many trials and errors.
