Fabergé (Color Collage Poem)



Eggs are blank canvas,
But you must handle with care,
They are delicate.

Any way you like,
Small paint strokes or dip dying,
Decorate the shells.

Orange like the sun,
With stars painted like the night,
Decorate them for fun.





(A/N This is a three series of haikus exploring the concept of egg decoration. It is based on a collage cutout piece I added into my personal journal. It is titled Fabergé in honor of history’s most notable Easter egg decorator, who made decorative eggs for the Russian Imperial family from 1885-1916.)

  4. The detail in the Faberge eggs is just mind-boggling, and to think how "delicate" the "blank canvas" really is makes them all the more remarkable.
