[stylist] the synesthesia poem ... finally!

[Myrna Badgerow]

Now I come from a different place. I am considered color blind though I do see color. I cannot distinguish similar colors nor pick out individual colors in a pattern, for instance. Too many destroyed cones in the retina. There is a name for it this condition but it is in the color blindness family. It has made things interesting at times and made for quite a few hilarious memories. In my world pink and green are a perfect match! Lol
I am truly fascinated by this entire topic.
