It’s Poetry Friday! Tricia at The Miss Rumphius Effect has the roundup today where she shares a beautiful pantoum honoring her beloved Cooper. Be sure to stop by for lots of poetry goodness.
My April Poetry project in 2022 was flowers from A-Z. I collected photos (mostly shot at Longwood Gardens), created a list of flowers, and crafted a poem to go with each one. Since today is Easter weekend, I’m offering this acrostic about the Easter Lily.
Still trying to land on an idea for this April’s project, but I’m leaning to writing a small poem in response to a picture book. That will combine two ongoing goals: read picture books and write poems daily.
Have a glorious Easter, and thanks for reading!

What a great Easter Lily poem–love “like robed apostles.”

Wonderful acrostic! I love how the word “trumpet-shaped” describing the flowers underscores the announcements in the previous lines.

Their ‘trumpeting’ always seems to bring great joy, Rose. This is a wonderful choice to write about for Easter. Wishing you a blessed one!

Great word choice — lilies definitely “shout” and “trumpet!”

Our church is abundant in Easter Lilies. I will think of this abundant poem tomorrow morning. Ethereal white!

I love a well written acrostic, when the word/title seems incidental yet also integral to the poem. I’m not sure that makes sense, but I did enjoy your poem and the strong word choice throughout.
