shards of ceramic
like stars across the counter
not a bowl I need
It was a funny Easter.
The eggs, it turns out, weren’t exactly hard-boiled.
And our pets were all afraid of the cobwebs (the string mazes our girls follow to get to their baskets).
And we were all so tired after a big week, we actually ended up at a Wimpy Kid matinee.
So it’s no surprise it culminated in a spectacular kitchen crash — a ramekin on the concrete kitchen counter.
Never mind, though.
Easter, pagan or Christian, is about fresh starts.
Right?
Loved this
I don’t even make the hard boiled eggs to dye anymore because none of us eats them. We came home from Texas to a freezer that had been out for over a week –fresh starts all around. I do welcome a nice fresh start.
As someone who seems to break a lot of stuff in the kitchen, I love this haiku. 🙂 Happy Easter!
Love the wit and fatalism all wrapped together in this haiku.
