Play-Dough

Too many times people try to change others to be more like what they want and don't take the time to appreciate this person how they truly are. You expressed that wonderfully here! I have to be honest, when I first saw the title I was hoping that the piece wouldn't be cliché or overdone because the concept of "play-dough" is worked into poetry many times but man oh man you blew me away!

"You're kneading me,
though it's not
the same way
that I NEED
you."
^What a wonderful play on words! That is what poetry is all about, I loved it! I just wanted to read it again and again...so witty! I had the image perfectly in my mind of a person molding and kneading another to be exactly how they pictured when all this person wants is to be loved. Such a sad realization but something many people experience. You made this piece easy to relate to but also made it unique and your own. Wonderfully written!

I have to agree with the above that is a clever write. You can see your chose the feeling and words to each stanza with care. I love how you break your poems down so that they are relateable. Your work never fails to pull me in and make me feel I am right there with you experiancing the same thing. Your poem always hit me in the heart and remind me of my own life in parts. You are a talented writer Liz so keep up the good work
