A poem a day – 10 minute poem – A dozen eggs

A poem a day – 10 minute poem – A dozen eggs

A dozen eggs

12 perfectly formed eggs
caramel brown
textured speckled ovoids
tough outer shell
protective exterior
encasing a golden germ
almost identical
slightly different
flawless with flaws
gift from hens
packed in cartons
from farm to table
stamped with codes
unfertilised ids
meeting demands
ticked with approval
ready for execution
time for breakfast
sunny side up
finest quality
fresh farm eggs

Note: 10 mins writing/typing/brainstorming time. 5 mins editing/refining time. Chose topic about 30 mins beforehand. Pretty quick poem, and probably pretty average too. Learnt something new today – it’s a dozen eggs, not a dozen of eggs. Good thing I checked that. Tasty eggs for breakfast – sunny side up for me. Yippee!
