A figure artist I know once told me that when she needs to get back to learning the basics, she goes back to eggs, sketching them to learn anew form and shadow and shape. 'An egg a day.' I like that idea.

Writers may not be able to draw eggs, but we can write about them.

Egg # 48: Egg Haiku

Writing haiku is a good exercise in practicing using only words that are necessary. Write a haiku involving an egg. It should have 3 lines, with a syllable count of 5 - 7- 5.
