[stylist] the synesthesia poem ... finally!

[Atty Rose]

Hi there, I have this too and didn't realize it had a name either until 
about 6 years ago. I asked my son Blake what color s was to him. It told him 
mine is blue. He said his was black and what did I mean.

I always see colors, not just letters and words and numbers. I love that 
peoples names turn into colors and it is funny that I will remember the 
color of a person before their actual name. It also helps me remember facts.

Some words turn into two colors or even more.

The colors I see are like a colidascope, always there, all different colors 
and always moving.

Glad to know someone else who does this!

Barb is a lovely pink color and Chris is bright gold.

Snugs,
Atty
