Vernal Verities

Corn and poppy,
snake and blade,
rise up from seeds
cast in the shade.

Full moon rises—
blood red or blue,
in harvest gold
or ice-white hue.

Eggs are hidden
in wet grass.
Yearly mysteries
come to pass.

Spill jellybeans!
Carve up the ham!
Alert the Tyger
and the Lamb.

Old Sister Ceres
dances still.
Demeter dwells
behind that hill.
