Let's Get Salty (posted by WhimsyGizmo)


"Today, I want you to sprinkle the word salt into your poems. Whether you make it the seasoned center, or just dash a smidge of it in at the last minute, just be sure some form of the word salt adds a little zing to your piece: Salty. Saltine. Salting. Saltlick. Saltatory."


Himalayan salt lamps
glow fiery orange in
darkness.  It is said
lamps should not be
turned off; they repel
negative ions.  

I love pink crystals
of Himalayan salt.

Fond memory–
my sister clutching
her green and white
rabbit, Salty. He never
touched the stuff.
