i have always loved
those giant chocolate eggs
from italy
this time of year
they line the shelves
of my local
italian market
large and hollow
a handful
of small candies tossed in
the cavernous hole
wrapped in bright mylar paper
easter basket ready
the real joy
is breaking through
the chocolate shell
to see what goodies lay within
this year
i am giving the easter bunny
a
helping hand
extra special chocolate
filled with
toys and jewels
hand chosen
for each recipient
this one
for a little girl
a milk chocolate shell
molded of tempered chocolate
dusted with pink luster
in a nest of grass
and...
this one
sealed shut
because
it has a very special
surprise
for a lucky
young woman
made of bittersweet chocolate
and
dusted in blue
imagine the
joy
and
surprise
when
these beautiful eggs
are cracked open
trinkets
toys
and
jewels
tumbling
out
a happy easter indeed
