On this day of National Poetry Month 2011; I highlight my children’s poems, visual poetry of Easter bunny delight; The Easter Bunnies on Hip-Hop Hill and The Great Easter Egg Balloon Drop. The poems focus on doing what is right and the world’s prettiest Easter bunnies with special skills.
Easter on Hip-Hop Hill is always such a wonderful thrill
Grass of every color grows next to four leaf clovers and the daffodil
On the morning of Easter Day, bunny rabbits hop out of their hideaway
They go about hiding eggs, while they sing, dance and play
They hop-bop and hop-bop from side to side
They do a ducky-wucky dip, turn and do a quick skipping stride
They bow, do a fancy-dancy little slide
They twirl and twirl and slowly ease into a riding glide
They jump into a slip-flip and softly land as they smile, all goggle-eyed
Then they proudly march about, showing their hip-hop, bunny pride
And, so, if on Easter Day you happen to visit Hip-Hop Hill
Get ready for the best bunny drill
There, you will be able to see bunny rabbits as they sing, dance and play
And, of course, you will find pretty eggs, along the way…

Ah, the little village called Bunny Ville
That’s where the world’s best bunnies call home
Every year, days before Easter
The bunnies gather to practice to hop and prepare eggs
For, the great delivery to nearby towns on the hill
The top bunny calls out the drill
With a tout on his whistle and a loud shout
He says “Let’s see if you’re ready for the egg delivery route”
