When Blooms Explode (My Easter/Spring poem from the devil's POV)

I nominate Kim Nelson at Kim Nelson Writes
Thank you Vinay and Jingle


I hate the season
That grows between
Frozen beards from winter’s treason
And
Summer’s sizzle with heat so mean

I can’t even say its name

I hate the odor
That screams from green
April’s warmth stalls winter’s motor
And
Summer’s drizzle defeats a dream

I can’t even say its name

He rose again
And breathed once more
And freed my slaves
From Hell in scores
Proclaimed my death
And slammed my door

I can’t even say His name

I hate the trouble
When blooms explode
And ice sheets warm to shallow puddles
And
Tadpoles turn to frogs and toads
I can’t even say its name

I hate the season
That lets you know
Jesus lives and is your reason
And
I with demons have got to go

I won’t even note His fame.

But,

He rose again
And breathed once more
And freed my slaves
From Hell in scores
Proclaimed my death
And slammed my door

I now have to say his name

I’ll bow my knee
And must proclaim
He is the Lord
That rose again
And
I am defeated
In the spring
When blooms explode
And He
Is King.
