Okay Prosers, this challenge is very close to my heart. I was talking to one of my dear friends the other day who is blind. She never complains about it and is always laughing and a ray of sunshine but on this day she confessed that she was feeling down. "It's just darkness all the time," she said. Said it twice. Her words cut me to the core. I wanted to say something, anything by way of empathy, but mostly I wanted to paint her sight back somehow. Calling all painters, poets, and word magician

Erin in Poetry & Free Verse

ROYGBIV

Red red roses with velvet petals brought to a lover with fiery burning passion

Orange hues are slightly less fiery... the heat is on its way out and crisp leaves crunch under foot

Yellow is so soft, like warm sunshine or a fuzzy chickadee against your cheek

Green is the scent of cut grass

Blue, the scent of ocean, the taste of salt

Indigo like a deep chill, cold as ice

Violet, oh violet... how to describe thee. I suppose there's no better way than to breathe in the scent of the lovely purple flowers by that name. Inhale a handful of blueberries and then taste them. That is violet.

To feel and smell and taste colors is the very best way to experience them!
