Poeggs

Poeggs, (pronounced PEGGS or PO-eggs, depending on whether you’re more in the mood for a poem or an egg) is a reused plastic egg carton containing six whimsical egg-inspired poems. Perfect gift for Easter, or anytime. Here’s one of the poems:

Meditation: Peeling a Boiled Egg

Brown eggs are best.
Crackle of brittle,
soft gleam of white -
(who couldn’t think about sex?)

Some shells crumble
in bits that resist.
Each one you pick
leaves a pock.

Others surrender
in spirals of miracle,
bestowing a globe
of perfection.

The poker-faced egg
will be one or the other.
Just slam it down
with a crunch and a prayer.
