Three Line Lunch: Painting an Easter Egg

a yearlong diary in three-line poems by Jeff Rogers, day 227

Painting an Easter Egg

Know your medium and your materials. Soak in vinegar and thin purple dye a long time.
Hillocks of paint on paper plate palette, cheap brush in hand, stabbing, sweeping strokes
Spoking outward from a yellow and orange circle: a multi-colored star born in an egg sky.
