Premature Ingestion

Poached or coddled, scrambled, fried––
a potential chick has died.
You have no patience, that is clear
for the breakfast you hold dear
forestalls a lot of finger-lickin.’
This could have been a whole fried chicken!

    Good one! I need to dig up a few more interesting pictures for you. 🙂
    I worked on my poetic version yesterday — and it’s going to be a long one. But these two days were “going” days — going visiting and going to the city. I’ll try to compose something tomorrow, plus keep my eyes peeled for some other challenging pic.
