    -Salt covers the gold-🤩 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!

  • Sam Spinelli2 months ago

    I like the way you’ve evoked very specific and recognizable sounds here. I can hear breakfast cooking.

    Yum! That made me hungry!

  • Sid Aaron Hirji2 months 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.

    There’s something beautiful about calling ordinary things “gold.” Feels like you’re already starting the day grateful. ✨
