Play-Doh Poetry

<
Playing with words is like playing with Play-Doh for the first time, mixing colors messing with structures, feeling it's designs between your fingers. All five of them. And then delicately stroking its surface with the others, learning to comprehend the difference between smooth and rough, and that the difference between them defines beauty. It's like wiping the floor clean with its sticky skin, and seeing van Gogh and Picasso in the lines that separate red and yellow. Really, it's just like being a kid again, and experiencing the awe of simplicity, the excitement of creativity, and the gravity of curiosity
