Our Many Colored Eggs
by Sarah Amick
Blank canvaseslike pearls from the sea
walls of protection, fragile, delicate;
One by one plucked from the cartondiving into colored liquids
red like love
blue like sorrow
green like growth
yellow like the sun
waiting, soaking, absorbing color-
a change from the blank canvas
the contrast, brilliant, vibrant;
radiant the egg waits for the others.
One by one they gathereach a different color
some with messages
All of them the color of their maker, designer
the artist.
One by one they gathera bouquet, a rainbow, a mosaic
Our many colored eggs.
*Taking pictures of our festivities, I was just blown away by my new camera and its ability to take really vivid shots. I relished in this little slice of life, what a blessing to color eggs. Messy yes, memories, priceless.

I loved reading your poetry as it complimented your pics...we colored eggs but I practically had to beg my boys to join in...I had more fun then they did. Happy Easter!
Gorgeous. You should submit them for Wordless Wednesday.
