Love Poem: Words

Words

Words can hurt and taste like dirt,
but I'm a worm in a polka dot shirt. 

Words can be muddy, dirty to feel,
but I swim right by like an electric eel.

Words can be ugly and hard as stone,
but I end them like an unwanted call on my phone.

Words can pierce like daggers and blades,
but I bury them in my garden with rakes and spades.

Words can be pretty when given the sun,
and I mold them like playdough because it's fun.

Words can be whatever the letter sounds say
and the words I love the most are ones that play.
