    -Salt covers the gold-๐Ÿคฉ Such a great line because I can't think of another situation where that happens. And you just described a way it can. Awesome work, my friend!

  • The easiest and nutrition packed breakfast. Loved your poem!

    I like the way youโ€™ve evoked very specific and recognizable sounds here. I can hear breakfast cooking.

    Yum! That made me hungry!

  • Sid Aaron Hirji30 days ago

    Man the bioavailability of protein in egg is excellent too. Decent price for a really nutritious meal. Thi reminds me of Bilbo Baggins trying to out riddle Gollum in The Hobbit.

    Thereโ€™s something beautiful about calling ordinary things โ€œgold.โ€ Feels like youโ€™re already starting the day grateful. โœจ
