[stylist] Perception Pantoum

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

Excellent!  I read this and was fascinated by the subject  matter.  And you 
did the pantoum proud, Barbara.  Yes they are a  challenge but once to do 
that first one, the next is not so bad.  I keep  telling myself this about 
writing haibuns. 
Thank you for not only entertaining me but enlightening me as well.

Here is  my first attempt at writing a pantoum.  (And I didn’t even make it 
 rhyme.  Though I may try my hand at that sometime for a REAL  challenge.)

PERCEPTION PANTOUM

By  Barbara Hammel



The experts call it synesthesia,

When the  senses join together.

For me it's colored words and numbers.

My  alphabet is rainbow-hued.



When the senses join  together

Some folks have colored taste or sound.

My alphabet is  rainbow-hued,

Plus days, months and some numbers,  too.



Some folks have colored taste or sound,

Others see  words or names in hues,

Plus days, months and some numbers,  too.


Some even feel shaped sound or taste.



Others  see words or names in hues,

As balls or spirals or lines.

Some  even feel shaped sound or taste

With real texture and  dimension.



As balls or spirals or lines

Of colors or  just in shades,

With real texture and dimension,

Inside or  outside the body.



Of colors or just in shades,

We'd be  lost without this gift.

Inside or outside the body,

Our mingling  senses join.



We'd be lost without this gift,

For me it's  colored words and numbers.

Our mingling senses join.

The experts  call it synesthesia.



Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to  dance. -- Carl  Sandburg
