Ah, so you're trying a whole lot of new forms, Bicpen. I'm not a great one for free verse. I write novels so do enough free verse there, lol. I liked this short, calm breakfast. Tea, some toast, an egg and after a while perhaps another egg. Most of us are rushed off our feet and just stuff in the first thing that comes along. Well done. I enjoyed. luv jada

While your free verse is okay, the subject leaves a lot to be desired as far as a poem is concerned, i.e., it offers nothing for your readers. As a result, I am rating only the form, not the content.

    Good for you! As far as I'm concerned, content is actually the most important part of a poem. If it doesn't say something that your readers can enjoy or relate to, no form in the world is going to make it a good poem.

    Well I did state it was my first attempt at this form...a small begining I think...

    You're right, but there's no better time to learn. I admire the fact that you are trying.

This is a short, yet interesting poem. It should like a good way to start the day.

Personally, both Peedy (my dog) and I had eggs, grits, bacon and toast - with coffee, this morning. jw

Obviously, you could have done much better with free verse. I have no doubt that you have the talent. This was a good poem, but it just fell flat, went sunny side up, a little over easy. Then again there could have been a word limit. Kudos. ;)

Love the simplicity of this poem. I tire of poets trying to make daily life so difficult. One egg or two is such refreshing question, and is based on what every human does each day - choose what one eats

I love this little poem! I am a breakfast person and you capture so much in few words here. I like how you state you might have another egg.
