Easter poems for children / Poemes de Pasqua per a xiquets

La Pasqua és una festa que es celebra en molts indrets del planeta. Ací és molt típic sortir al cap i menjar-se "la mona", dolç que els xiquets reben dels seus padrins. Hem anat ficant al blog diferents poemes i cançons populars de Pasqua.

Però podem aprofitar la festa per aprendre i/o practicar l'anglès amb els menudets. Us fiquem uns quants poemetes, senzills i fàcils, en anglès.

Bona Pasqua amb poesia / Happy Easter in poetry

Colouring Easter Eggs

(Sarah Benedetti)

I take an egg

All shiny white

And then I dip

It out of sight.

I leave it there

Within the cup

Then after a minute

I pick it up.

And oh!

It's a lovely

Shade of green!

The prettiest Easter egg

I've ever seen.

Easter Surprise

Easter eggs,

Yellow and blue,

Easter eggs,

For me and you.

Easter eggs,

Candy sweet,

Easter eggs,

Are good to eat.

Easter eggs,

Pretty and funny,

But...

Where oh where the Easter Bunny?

*

Easter

The Easter Bunny's feet

Go hop, hop, hop,

While his big pink ears

Go flop, flop, flop.

He is rushing on his way

To bring our eggs on Easter Day,

With a hop, flop, hop, flop, hop.

*

Hop, Hop, Hop

Hop, hop, hop,

Hop my bunny hop,

Hop along my little bunny

You look sweet and very funny

On this Easter day.

Look and see,

Where the eggs may be,

Here is on and here's another,

Here's a lovely one for mother.

Let us look and see,

Where the eggs may be.

This Little Bunny

This little bunny has two pink eyes.

This little bunny is very wise.

This little bunny is soft as silk.

This little bunny is white as milk.

This little bunny nibbles away

At cabbages and carrots the livelong day!

Chocolate Rabbit

I got a chocolate rabbit

For an Easter treat,

A great big chocolate rabbit,

Good enough to eat.

So I ate his ears on Sunday,

his nose I finished Monday,

Tuesday I nibbled on his feet.

I ate his tail on Wednesday,

Thursday I kept on,

By Friday he was going,

Saturday he was gone.

Oh, I loved that chocolate rabbit,

From the moment that he came,

And if I get another one,

I'll love him just the same.

Patience

Chocolate Easter bunny

In a jelly bean nest,

I'm saving you for very last

Because I love you best.

I'll only take a nibble

From the tip of your ear

And one bite from the other side

So that you won't look queer.

Yum, your'e so delicious!

I didn't mean to eat

Your chocolate tail till Tuesday.

Ooops! There go your feet!

I wonder how your back tastes

With all that chocolate hair.

I never thought your tummy

Was only filled with air!

Chocolate Easter bunny

In a jelly bean nest,

I'm saving you for very last

Because I love you best.
