japanese chickens
produce for bright orange egg yolks
carotene diet
off putting maybe
salmonella neutralized
safe and edible
yellow yolks on the kitchen floor
brighten up the tile
sunflower seeds glow in the sun
for a country mile
dandelions with their bright heads
springing up all over the yard
sunshine magic on my front porch
enticing me to bard
rain coat slicker and yellow boots
shining in the rain’s little test
the only thing that would make today more sweet
would be a taste of lemon zest.

Fish that are Jelly
Chicken eggs, pan-fried -

Here's where you can see pictures and learn about the Fried Egg Yolk Jellyfish. http://www.strangeanimals.info/2014/08/floating-fried-eggs-jellyfish.html.
A chicken farmer belittled native folks.
He said their beliefs were akin to jokes.
The natives put a curse on him
He laughed and called it a whim.
Until his chickens had eggs minus yolks.
Quicksand routines yolks of same
Spinning into limbo hours lost
Unto fraught betwixt existence
Into frivolous twining gone
Stop the drowning and start the standing up
Amidst life’s frenzied stream
And be the “courageous” caught within its currents
Capturing simple moments and mere instances before they leave
Reign in the ticking and the tocking
Offer shelter to your needs
Reverse the course of river
To run freer and thus, parallel to your dreams
