EASTER QUESTIONS in haiku

How come it’s bunnies

that deliver chicken eggs

for Easter baskets?

Who told this story?

Where did the details come from,

some odd fairy tale?

Bunnies and baskets—

What’s up with all those found eggs?

Make mine deviled, please.

Frieda Risvold is a writer and poet who lives in Des Moines, Washington.

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).

SHARING STORIES is featured on http://www.northwestprimetime.com, the website for Northwest Prime Time, a monthly publication for baby boomers, seniors, retirees, and those contemplating retirement. The newspaper can be found in the greater Seattle area and other Puget Sound locations. For more information, call 206-824-8600 or visit http://www.northwestprimetime.com.
