National Poetry Month: A Peep's Plead (19 of 30)
It's National Poetry Month. I will be posting a poem each day. No theme. I'm just going to follow the spark each day, wherever I might find it. It's bound to be messy.
A Peep's Plead
They've placed the peeps
near the front of the store.
They're staring at you
as you walk in the door.
Their eyes look so sad
as they beg and they plead,
"You came for some milk,
but we're what you need."
"Look at us waiting here
blue, yellow and pink,
we could be of good use
if you just stop and think."
Poor peeps, I did think
to myself walking by,
no new home for Easter,
I let out a sigh.
The poor little chicks
no basket that day,
no children to watch,
no moments of play.
Instead here they sit
hoping today it will be,
the day they are chosen
to come home with me.
