Imagination and Synesthesia

How might an experience change if viewed through the lens of synesthesia? This condition lends itself to creative and poetic thinking, so imagine a world where the senses are not strictly separated. 

Then translate that into a poem in which every line contains a blending of the senses.

Just as Fitzgerald had us considering the meaning of "yellow cocktail music" at Gatsby's party, we can use sensory details to re-frame perception.

Example:


Morning

The day rises with the violin strains of the sun
As the blue feeling of coffee invigorates me
Along with its nutty scent, its warm bubbling sound . . .
