large brown egg…still warm
from grass-fed, free-range chicken
work of happy hen!

you may
call me egg-head
for trying to write a
spring quadrille of eggs
-actly forty-four words (now
you know that forty-four counts
as one word, right?) and also for
making this poem egg-shaped,
(simply eggs-ceptional) just
don’t egg me on to pen
more yolks!
Kim hosts an “egg” quadrille prompt for dVerse Poets this week before Easter…

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai‘s spring retreat theme is ” fragile beauty”.
sky blue robin’s egg
delicate avian life
beginning of wings
flight aborted, premature
my eggshell heart softly cracks

promise of new life
a singular affection
robins’ nest treasure
bathe with sea water
birth in gritty suffering
shell’s precious jewel
