The word “Egret” is in your title. There is a mother egret trying to take care of her baby, who is not so much an egg anymore, but a teen, at this point. Nothing burns your heart like having a teenager mouthing off at you, defying you, and shouting “I hate you” every day. Actually, that’s starts at about 6 or so. š Anyway, this poem is hiding the fact that the speaker is having parenting trouble.
Eggs? Oh dear, so sorry.
