egging me on

you
safely cull
my inspire
as if by nature’s
call
you pick from
fertilized eggs
candling
each nuance of
thought
seeing through
the albumen

finding my
promise
in the beating heart
that shows
first, before
the layers of
feathered
skin
evolve

from the confines
of the basket
to the warmth
of the
hatchery

you and I wait
you, knowing

me, not even full
fledged

but the pecking shall
begin

in enough days
time, you’ve marked
the calendar,

you know

my only question
being

will the
chick
roar?

will the chick roar...

now that conjured up an image of some half lion half fowl..that instead of peeping..roars..( chuckling)

Nice poem...and the ending just gives pause to the reader... letting them think...

I enjoyed!

Will the "chick" soar?

Thank goodness for old memories of the boob tube, loved this.

this was a fun read and the ending quite unique, for some reason it took me to "I am woman, hear me roar!"
