Tactile Tanka

by Maureen Glaude

shell chips crunch
beneath my nails
then smooth film of membrane
slides as I peel
hard-boiled eggs

I like this alot. Good picture painted of evryday life. Almost a still-life painting but in poem form. Very nice. :)

Yes, quite tactile and visual, thanks to your descriptiveness. They're now advertising on a TV infomercial another one of those kitchen gadgets that automatically strips the shell off a hard boil egg.
