Twirls, Toast, & Tantalizing Scents

With a "Bring!" the alarm went off. Rubbing my eyes, I turned off the alarm. Pushing back the comforter, I stretched and got out of bed. With a twirl around the room, I headed to freshen up for the day.  "Hm..." "Hmm..." I went through the hangers. Sand-brown is what I selected—a not-too-loose, not-too-tight, but just-right top and bottom. That’s what I wore, with my hair properly combed and away from my face. Then, I began my morning skincare.  Now, I was ready to start the day. Skipping through the silent hallways, I arrived in the kitchen, beginning my morning with a hearty breakfast.  The rich aroma of coffee filled the air. Glancing around, I spotted a pot of freshly brewed coffee. Mom must be awake—probably watering the plants in the back garden, I thought.  I set to the task at hand. Cracking the eggs into the pan, I grabbed a fork, considering scrambling them—but stopped myself. Mom doesn’t like scrambled eggs. So, here came her plate of sunny-side-up eggs. Letting them cook, I topped them with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Ah! The scent was tantalizing. Quickly, I prepared a plate of scrambled eggs for myself, then moved on to toasting bread slices. Next up: the toast topping—avocados were my choice.  After plating everything and cleaning up the mess, I set the meal on the table. Just in time—Mom walked in, and we sat down for breakfast.  Pouring a cup of coffee, I watched as the steam rose in an alluring way, curling at the top like a delicate heart.  Bon appétit!

The pan hums, the toast sighs,  Avocado green winks at my eyes.  Steam curls up in a heart’s disguise—  Oh, what a sunlit surprise!
