Shakespeare and Mellow Synesthesia

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

Our poetry allows the best of realms.

Vanilla taste is heard and seen.  Rhyme’s smell

Can be a velvet touch.  At poets’ helms

Directions can be whispered as pastel

Perfumes in tastefulness, the soft surprise

When first those lips you want come near enough

For you to kiss, vanilla in the eyes

That you have lit your incense for.  The rough

Is pinkly mauved by poets.  Flavor mild

As beauty ever was becomes the rule

In every sense.  The smell is Oscar Wilde

In fairytales and sonnets, sweetly cool.

  The poets wield this sublimating sense

    To sense.  Their poetry defies each fence.
