Synesthesia Poems
Green and Its Pure Beauty
By Madison
Green feels like the prickly grass conglomerated under finger tips
The leaves crunch
Under the pure strength of nature
The only comfort to look to
A security blanket
The smashed grass compressed under the mass of life
The life of the world’s texture
The beauty of slime like a frog’s insides
Its unique scent of fresh cut grass
In the evening
Spongy, soft texture of moss climbing up the rigid tree trunk
The silent movement of microscopic insects scavenging for food
In the moon light
Seaweed swaying on the midst of the waves crashing against shore
Green
What life works around
Dance
By Lexi
I tap my foot to the music
12345678 my conscious announces
Beats of music chasing through my body
Lightning bolts of music
Have you ever had the desire to dance?
The feeling’s phenomenal
Gives me a rush
Dancing is my passion
My life
My stress reliever
A description of my emotions
If I’m sad, depressed, or just flat out ticked off
I’ll just pick a song
Start dancing
You’ll know exactly how I’m feeling within thirty seconds
This is my dance
I Got A Feeling
By Brad
Only the song and my heartbeat
Are going through my ears
A mission is what it sends me on
The goosebumps run through my body
It makes me feel at peace
But visions dive
Through my head
I see not through my eyes but through my brothers
The body falls and my brother has to keep moving
I feel the sadness
It’s dark and wraps itself around me
Then and only then you hear voices
Quiet to where you can hear them
Diminish
Then you press replay
And run it again
Basketball
By Jessica
Basketball feels like a
Cold breeze rushing
On me when I am
Running through
the people down the
Court with the ball
It makes me taste the
Sweat just splashing
In my mouth
The sweat
Rushing down in
My eyes forcing me to be
Blind
Listening to the all
Off the people cheering
Me and everybody else
On
It looks like a bunch
Of girls all sweaty and
Sticky killing themselves
Just to get the ball and
Get a point to win
The game
Peace
By Lane
Peace, shouts to me
Filling my ears
With what any sane person would want to hear
All shouting, all fighting, all war has ceased
Over-powering all other feelings
Peace whispers, quiet as the wind
“Hush, there is no more to worry about.”
Peace tells me I have no need
To hold fear in any longer
Peace, that gently carried me
Through all hard times
Peace sings me to sleep
With the most enchanting lullaby
Peace is now blowing through the wind
To soothe another fearful soul
Hurt – Like Purple Swollen Bruises
By Sarah
Like a sad face
Like the sobbing from afar
Like the shatter of the window
Their way of escape
The crumble of the heart
The slow dissolving of the soul
The heartbeat racing
As the tears form a puddle on the floor
Like extra saliva
Or the salty teardrops
Flowing down the damaged face
The broken face
But most of all the hurt face
Like the pulse racing
And the brain almost shutting down
To where you just cant take it anymore
And you just have to SCREAM! Then cry
So overwhelming
So frustrating
And it only hurts worse to talk about it
Like crutches and a cast
Like a black eye and it hurts to cry
Like a scar
A scar on your heart
That will be there forever
Like when your favorite pet dies
Like when you have worked so hard yet it is still being criticized
Like 100˚ of weather
Yet not a drop of water
Hurt is very powerful
It can change a rainbow to gray
A sunny day
To a snowy day
Day to night
But most of all
A smile
To a tear
Hurt: like the purple swollen bruise
The Taste of War
By Caleb
War tastes like uncertainty,
The taste of blackness and bitterness lingers
Upon your taste buds.
Stingy coffee sticks and sprouts rapidly
Around the vicinity of your mouth,
Unbearable amounts of sourness,
Foreign and cruel,
Deadly quantities of blood swishing
Roughly through your turning stomach,
The taste so distinct and threatening,
Mingles throughout sorrowful life…
Happiness
By Gabby
Happiness tastes like Pop Rocks
Tiny explosions in my mouth
Watermelon or Cherry
Even Strawberry or Blue Raspberry
Smile and smiles everywhere
All over your face
Your skin tightens up
Making you smile
Which is a sure sign of happiness
Happiness is everywhere
Just make someone laugh
And it will be there
Fear
By Esmeralda
Fear sounds like
The screams
From nine-eleven
Like the crashing and shattering
Of the
Buildings
While silver glass falls
Bursting
With life
The angry wind
Looks down
On the people
Who dread the cruel devious
Reaper
Coming closer
To take
Existing
Souls and Lives
So they hide
Like
Insignificant turtles
That
Fear to go
Near
The
Shoreline that
Holds the
Future
For it is
Fearful:
What unknown
Misfortune
Is to
Come
Next.
What Does Hunting Smell Like?
By Auston
Hunting smells like old rotten
Leaves and mud mixed with
The pleasant smell of
Droppings in a pasture
The animal’s carcasses knarled
With not a stitch of meat
Left on the bones,
A stream filled with dirt
And fish with old oak trees
Drifting away as they rot,
And sometimes the smell of
Civilizations
Why Do We Live?
By Jackie
Love tastes like sour candy
Always hurting you
Your taste buds
Your soul
But you always come back for more
Again… again
It’s so appetizing and so addicting
We are so stubborn to figure out its bad for us
Comforting laundry detergent
Sweet, fresh roses
Blossoming, spring day with its scent drifting away from itself
holding in my nostrils
Love
Warm fluffy arms wrapped around mine never letting go
My loving teddy bear
Smiles miles long
Laughing hard
Stomach burning, pure happiness
Love
Sunsets screaming thousands of emotions 9 P.M July
After none stop in the hotness of the scorching sun
The only reason for living
Only reason for smiling
Next to me all day
Waves swooshing back and forth… back and forth…
Comforting the spirits that were destined for each other
Love
The thing warming the sun
And my heart
Snowboarding
By Chase
Snowboarding tastes like freezing wind
Punching you in the face
It smells like a jet flying at Mach 10
0r a marshmallow melted in a fire
It sounds likes a avalanche when you go over ice
It tastes like a lemon lime slushy
And smells like hot chocolate
It feels like frigid wind hitting your eye
It sounds like a fire when you come to a stop
And two drum sticks cracking
At the end of the day
How Excellent Sunshine Can Smell and Taste
By Ambral
Sunshine smells like
a new day
new beginning
a fresh start
of your new life
It smells like
Hot coffee,
Soft smelling new born babies
A colorful bouquet of roses from the store
Sunshine taste like
New glazed donuts just coming from the bakery
Hand made chocolate chip cooks from the oven
Homemade soul food
Fried chicken
French curled fries
now you know sunshine can smell like anything
But a question lays on my mind
What does sunshine smell or taste like to you?
Softball in the Spring
By Allison
Softball is the smell of
The cold breezy spring air
With the taste of
Sweat draining down my face,
While pitching the ball to the batter
Concentrating on whether the pitch
Is a good hit or to let it go as a ball
Anxious for the ball,
To come right back at me
Hearing the sound of my teammates
Distracting the batter
Saying, “Hey batter”
The feeling or adrenaline
Rushing through my head
Around the bases
On my way home
“Bam” goes the crack of the bat
When my friend hits
The 1st homerun of the season
Around the bases she goes
Making us win the game
The crowd goes crazy
We finally won the game
After six long exhausting innings
Happiness
By Evan
Happiness tastes like
A gigantic lollipop from the fair
Kids running around with one
A smile on their faces and
A lollipop in their hand
Happiness sounds like a
Cluster of kids yelling and
Screaming having fun
Going down an extremely large waterslide
Shouting with joy
Happiness looks like a family
Having a picnic in the park
Just laughing
And enjoying every moment
Together
What Does Pain…
By Sara
Pain feels like ice water being poured on my head
Sounds like the screech of nails on a teachers chalk board
and too many things that were left unsaid
Pain smells like spicy, stench-full spices in a huge bowl in the hot sun
Tastes like nasty cold medicine on the worst rainy day ever
Pain looks like when you look around to see poor, homeless, over stressed
men and women crying on the streets
Pain feels like a bee sting in my hand and a horse hoof to the throat
Sound like slaps and cries of beaten, sorry children
Smells like sweat and tears rolling off my cheeks
Pain tastes like a cigarette’s smoke from a long forgotten pedestrian
Looks like a scar on a grown man’s back
Pain feels like a blade to the hand in the bloody battle for your life
Sounds like cries of pain and un-forgetful screams
Smells like prune juice and grape cold medicine
What is Happiness, Truly?
By Jaden
Happiness tastes like a warm
Cake fresh out of the oven
Chocolate syrup dripping all over
Happiness feels like
Touching the warm fur of a new puppy
On your birthday
Happiness smells like
Freshly picked flowers
On a Sunday afternoon
Happiness looks like
A warm summer morning
With all the dew drops
Sprinkled on the wet grass
Happiness sounds like
A trip to the beach
The little splashes of the waves
Seagulls chirping
The kids laughing with joy
Warm breeze going across the water
What Does Hunting Sound Like?
By Zack
Hunting sounds like guns clinking together
as me and my uncle walk through the woods
like birds chirping
at 5am in the morning
like the wind whistling through the beautiful trees
boots crunching on leaves that blew off branches
the sound of the deer trotting their way through
the woods at day break
“Bang” the sounds of shot guns going off
At the deer crackling there way in front of the hunters
Hunting sounds like a majestic calm waterfall
In the middle of nowhere
Like a place to go to relieve stress and anger
Wrestling
By Edgar
“Boom” is the sound of my opponent
eating the mat.
Nasty experience
Fermenting taste of blood,
Sweaty and musty smell
Feeling his bicep squeezing on my neck
High adrenaline crawling through my veins
I feel him kicking to get out of my cradle
As I go for the pin I hear the shouting of my team mates
I destroy him by the end of the match
Love
By Cheyanna
Love smells like freshly picked flowers
on Valentine’s Day
A peaceful summer morning
The sunshine in the
sweet afternoon
Love tastes like chocolate on your
wedding anniversary
Like a sugar cane
Sweet wine on
your wedding night
Love feels like a warm
sensation in your stomach
A warm chocolate cake coming out
of the oven
Love sounds like
You just fell in love again
Sounds like
Your heart is beating a thousand times faster than
It normally would
That is what I think of
Love
Indestructible
By Tyler
Smells like burning skin
Like the smell of a explosion
Ashes burning on your tongue
Like scorched ground
Flames everywhere in sight
A single person
Walking out of it burnt
But not dead a face like a monster
The sound of sirens
Gunshots
Helicopters
A warzone
No pain
What Love Tastes Like…
By Tony
Love tastes like freshly baked
Brownies, your body
Is filling with good creamy joy
Eyes start to glow like freshly opened lemonheads
And start to close like
A banana getting re-established,
Excited to see
Her again, your mind is about to pop into
Millions of little candy hearts that
Taste like love
Love, Like a Rollercoaster
By Mackenzie
Love.
Squishy warm sand between my toes
Hand-in-hand
The piece of your once lost, missing puzzle piece; found and put in place
The hope of being together forever
Now, it’s just the matter of making it last
Staying together
Like the sugar passed onto my tongue
The adventurous, adrenalin rushing feeling
The awkward sweaty feeling, like being on a rollercoaster
Birds chirping, whispy wind, blowing in the breeze
The flower petals slowly sinking;
He loves me, he loves me not.
Love, the blood rusher, giving me the time of my life.♥
