π Taste the Rainbow refers to colors. You do not have to write about a rainbow in your poem. Just include a color in your poem. π
I hsve chosen to write a Nonet. A Nonet poem has nine lines, with nine syllables in the first line decreasing to one syllable in the last line. The subject of my poem is Synaesthesia . Synaesthesia,Β the neurological condition that causes a blending of the sensesΒ β colours can be connected to letters and numbers, smells and tastes to music or touch to vision β has long been linked to creativity: famous synaesthetes include Sibelius and more recently Pharrell Williams and Lady Gaga.
Synaesthesia
The colours flew off of him like sparks. Warm hues of luxurious blue Cosy bright sunshine yellows White lines of energy Synesthesia Enhanced her. She Told him, he Said, me Too.

Well here is my favourite of the moment, great song and very clever information which is really helpful too!
There are loads out there so do get searching and sharing.
Today is the thirteenth day of Advent, leading up to Christmas. I would like to re-run my take on the Nativity story. I first wrote this in 2011, in the style of prosetry.
The lady down the road from the Hotel Delph was busy knitting as she always did but this time not for herself. She had heard of the young couple up the road in need she would help them in the only way she knew, in deed. She could knit a jacked and some booties too, blue ones with a little duck and egg freeze. Her project was going well she was doing fine, she had not kitted this fast for such a long, long time. Her fingers gnarled now with arthritis had lately let her down she usually had to stop working after a short while and the pain just made her frown. But somehow since she had started on this knit her fingers moved like magic and she was so proud of it. Her face was relaxed and once again she wore a smile. For some reason she was free of pain it made her want to dance and sing that she could knit again. The children came to see her, they had not done so for so long, in days gone by they came for cakes and paid her with their songs. The children started returning the day after the couple had arrived, she found that she could bake and knit again. The children made her feel alive. She had been so lonely, she realized it was her fault but now with this new found strength she would bring all loneliness to a halt. Happily she pondered on her new lease of life, she loved the children visiting and she loved that young Jo and his darling wife. The young wife had touched her hands and wept for her pain. It was soon after that, that she noticed she could use her hands again. Like the others she was excited waiting for the birth of the new king, she was doing what could and knitting gifts for him!
Where did yesterday go? I was up at the crack of 5am and on the train by 7.46am. I met Eloise, Marje, Marian and Lance at Victoria Station and then it was off to the venue.
Now I did try and take lots of photos but chatting and meeting with people takes precedense But here are someπ.
Ritu, Sacha, Geoff, the huggable Hugh and Suzie.π
I totally failed to get a good picture of Isa , she is sitting at the table in blue top. I was delighted to see her again. It was great to catch up, I wanted a selfie with her but I failedπ£ her partner from their blog Jo could not make it. Jo I missed you ππ
I really tried to meet everyone but I did not get to speak to these two. I am sorry. If you let me know who you are I will link you in. I am sorry I didn’t get to chat .π Just been informed by Lance the young lady is Claire. Just looking for the chap now.
Oh! I have remembered the lovely Simon sorry for the late entry Simon .
I also didn’t get to speak to Ananda Leeks If I missed anyone I am so sorry. Let me know and I will add you π
Ritu, me and Marje my Blogging sisters πππ
I also didn’t get a photo of of Susanne Tench and her brother. Nor did I get a photo of Jemima Pett
There were others there but I didn’t get photos so if I have left anyone one out please, please forgive me!
I can’t tell you how much it means to me to meet up with my bloggy family. I really love to meet up with old friends and make lots of new friends too. Everyone is happy to chat and so genuine.
If you have never been to a Bash I can really recommend that if you can you do because there is always so much to learn and so many opportunities to network.
We started off with a welcome speech, from Suzie then two awards , followed by the competition presented by Gareth Stevens, and the winner Samantha Smith was at the Bash.
Next Laura had us in stitches. Followed by a few more awards.
Then Jemma told us her story from book devouring teen to published author… absolutely fabulous.
Then lunch, time to relax and chat and mingle, always one of the best parts of the day.
Then it was back in and time for the panel, great questions and great questions.
After the Question and Answers it was Suzie’s Flat Lay presentation
Followed by Geoff doing the final awards, then Sacha closed up .
Time to chat more ππ.
So again it was over, months of excitedly looking forward to the ABBA’s planning travel and then poof it’s over and Marian, Eloise and I are quick marching after Lance back to Victoria. We had to step it out because Eloise’s train was due! We said goodbye, Lance made sure Eloise got her train. I saw Marian through to her train, after we had tried to get through a barrier that wasn’t working!
That left me so I found the underground down the escalator Victoria line to Oxford Circus
So where did the day go. But it was great ππ Thank you Committee you produced another winner. To everyone at the bash it was it was wonderful to meet up.
Then another hallway after that she would be through.
Suddenly her vacuum died and went quiet,
Turning round she found the housekeep looking concerned and white!
“According to your records you were a doctor in your country, is that true.”
“Yes “said Anya , thinking that was another life, “just what is that to you.”
“It is that young couple staying in David’s room they have no money and she is not well. Could you check her out I will get Hannah to finish off your rooms.”
Without another word the two women made for David’s snug
Anya pleased to be able to use her given expertise, felt like giving the Jean a hug!
When they arrived Mares looked stressed with pain, fear in her eyes.
When she was told of Anya’s skills she was so relieved she cried.
Irena was there too and she smiled at Anya you need to reassure our patient that we know just what ticks
And what she has here, now, is a case of Braxton Hicks.
Anya checked Mares out and with Irena she agreed
That for Mares to rest and relax really was of the greatest need.
Jean the housekeeper smiled and said that would be fine
David was sharing with the concierge and the manager had seen the couples good effect on his business so he certainly would not mind.
Irena gently told Mares that before she had travelled here and become a maid she had been a midwife and Anya was a doctor and so a birthplan between the three of them made.
Jo was so relieved he went for a walk
And as he was hoping Gabe turned up for a talk.
Gabe told him to fear not that all would go well and after the babe was born as soon as Anya told them all was well they should pack up and go.
Happily humming Anya almost skipped along to her room
From the back of her cupboard she dug out her Drs bag and her books from where they had laid hidden in the gloom.
At last she thought, I can again do just what I love,
Even if it was just for a short time it was like a gift from up above.
Irena too was happy she and Anya were good friends they had travelled to this hotel together and now together they could practice medicine again!
Magi.com had landed and were Hilton bound in their hired limousine they needed food , drink and rest but after that to find the babe they were very keen.
After research on the plane they were even more determined not to contact herod.com again.
This is another excerpt from a version of the the Nativity story, that I wrote all through December 2011. It started here Mary and Jo Part 1
This morning, like last night I find myself in a reflective mood. After a fitful night full of unsettling dreams I sit here in the early dark disturbed by what my dreams have touched on. In an attempt to clear my mind of these niggles I have written a Naani.
