With Salt - A Riddle

With Salt - A Riddle is a short fun riddle poem. It presents its subject in the many various ways we see and use it every day, without ever once 'naming' what is being discussed. Can you guess the riddle answer?  


    There are five stanzas, each of six lines. Not all lines are the same length nor do they have the same syllable count between the stanzas. In fact, stanzas one and three and five have a decidedly different feel than stanzas two and four (and stanzas two and four increase in syllables to line three then decrease line by line to the last). There is a rhyme scheme, but it is not a fixed one; the rhyme is usually between the second and fourth or fifth lines (it can and does vary). While the structure of 5 stanzas has been maintained as 5 chapter breaks, each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line is given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
