Like dough
I am
So malleable
Shapeable
Into one
Or many forms
Like dough
I burn
And burn
On stove
On fire
Only to be
Strong, rigid and firm
Like dough
I am
To provide
Exotic delicacies
To your tongue
To let you savour me
While am young
Like dough
I burn
To be in the shape
And size
You yearn
And yearn
Like dough
I am a habit
Just a bun
Tasteful, forgetful
Just a craving
Which makes your stomach burn
Glistening and gleaming
Bright eyes lighting up so wide
The innocence of children dreaming
About all the wonders that are inside
The ice sculptures coming together
With their carved out faces
For everyone to remember forever
The enchanting landscape places
This winter wonderland a paradise
A festival celebrating the snow
And all the slippery shapeable ice
Making all want to go
Just to see the creativeness
Of the latest snow made figure
What it will be, can you guess?
And if you can, are you sure?
