Hatching Eggs (Acrostic)

by A Poets Handwriting aka ALISHA   Sep 4, 2012


Hens sit clucking, awaiting
Arrival of their precious chicks
Their bedding soft, their owners
Caring; readying for chicks to
Hatch one by one, then
Incubating the fluff balls
Not allowing them to freeze
Growing slowly every day

Eggs are born from hens
Gracious little fluffy babes..
Gus carefully collects the chicks:
Sir, that's not a hen!

    I have read and enjoyed formed poetry before but never really written one. This definitely inspires me to try some time.
    This is a great poem, the ending made me smile. I dont often find humor in poems so this must have been really challenging. Truly well done!
