Round and soft and so many colors in only two. Two colors, brown and beige. Yet so many shades and shadows and contours and lines and curves. It screams out,”Softness!” Plush, is a great word to describe the brown and beige presence of the soft mass on my bed. It is pliable, flexible and moves so easy. It keeps a whispered secret when your head lays on it and talks of the events of the day. Geometric shapes decorate its outer soft shell. Rhombus and triangle, square and rectangle. The shapes easily learned in a dazzling rainbow decorated kindergarten class. It is covered in millions of short hairs. Soft hair that tickles the very tip of your nose. It represents a dense jungle of two shades of sunlight, brown and beige. A pattern known only to the tallest animal with the longest neck to wear the most diamond necklaces than any other woman in the world. The maze-like pattern dips and flies itself all across the puff of cotton that is at the base of its soul. It is a softy, of course. A few stitches here and there; barely visible scars sprinkled all over to let the sleeper know that this pushover has seen battle.
This exercise was very fun. I really enjoyed thinking about an everyday object in other different terms. It was very fun and a very good exercise for my brain. I could see my creative side really coming out if its shell. These types of exercises really help when I write poems or stories. It makes me a better writer in the end.
