THE EGG

THE EGG

In the quiet cradle of the morning sun,

A humble egg, by dawn's grace begun.

Pablo's brush, in colors bold and bright,

Dances with words, a poet's gentle light.

Ode to the egg, a canvas pristine,

A vessel of life, a mystery unseen.

In Picasso's hands, angles and curves,

A symphony of shapes, a creation that serves.

A fragile orb, in the artist's gaze,

A metaphor for life, in myriad ways.

Shell, a fortress, guarded and strong,

Yet within, a universe waiting to belong.

Ethereal strokes, a poet's inked refrain,

Capturing the essence, the joy and pain.

Noble laureate's words, a lyrical dance,

An ode to the egg, a timeless romance.

Picasso's vision, a fractured delight,

Breaking barriers, revealing the light.

Nobel laureate's verses, a delicate weave,

Celebrating life that the egg does conceive.

In the quiet cradle of the morning's birth,

A collaboration, a masterpiece of worth.

Egg, a symbol, profound and pure,

In the hands of genius, an everlasting allure.

The egg is surely a masterpiece of creation in its making . I like how you refer to both a Picasso painting and a Nobel Laureate’s verses here. Both of them understanding the value of something so simple and capturing it themselves so masterfully. Wonderfully done.

Yes the egg is so symbolic in its simplicity, the shape before even considering the wonders of its contents. An inspiring, thoughtful write. You did the egg artistic justice.
