Poetry on Hope and Renewal
This is for Mikeydred's April Prompt
April is the time for renewal and rebirth. ---Michelle Liew

She found it underneath the willow tree
A chocolate egg, wrapped in colored thread and moss---
No one had come by here; it wasn't free;
But left with care, like a gift left 'neath a cross.

She cracked its shell, to find a folded note
"Forgive, though chills may sometimes linger."
Handwritten script, in broad, red strokes of hope
"Renewal waits, though the doubtful heart will shiver."

If I hadn't read your poem Michelle, I wouldn't have realized that Easter was coming soon. Well Done poem with beautiful worlds.

Heartfelt words. I am missing the prompts, desperately in need of renewal.
"Renewal waits, though the doubtful heart will shiver." Oh wow, I especially loved this line!
