Tender and fragile, you stand alone, unnoticed. Strength makes you blossom. #PaintbyWords #SenryuSunday #Haiku #Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #WritingCommunity #FlowersOnSunday #minimalism #Stunday #ImageAndVerse #photography #Art #ECK #flowers #naturephotography #bloomscrolling

The picture shows a single, bright red poppy standing out against a blurred, neutral brown background. Its delicate petals form a cup-like shape. The slender, hairy green stem extends downwards.

✨️🌿🌺🦋🌺🌿✨️ hummingbird moth: knowing names by flavor #SenryuSunday #PaintbyWords #EastCoastKin #BloomScrolling

This is a nature photo I took of a hummingbird hawk-moth resting on a lavender princess rhododendron. The moth is facing away with wings fully extended, catching light like stained glass. Antennas are held in a V-pattern, their serrated edges visible. A moss green patch of fuzz trails down its back. Velvety umber bands circle the abdomen. The tail ends in a splay of dark plumes. Lavender-pink blooms beneath the moth blur into the green background bokeh.

I can hear colors, see music, smell emotions, and taste words. This cross-sensory perception is called synesthesia. I was born this way. It took me a long time to realize this condition made me different. And trust me, being different isn’t something most of us want to be. It’s very isolating, especially when extreme pain comes with it. As a child, I described these sensations and people either thought I was trying to be funny, or because I was artistic, I had an overactive imagination. Sometimes I laughed along, finding joy in their amusement, but it also chipped away at my truth. You’d think this would give me an advantage with sense-switching in haiku or senryu. It does not. The cross-sensory that I experience is hard for most people to follow; the leap is too far. When I sense switch in poetry, I have to make-believe that I don’t have synesthesia for it to make sense. The only way I can express my condition through poetry (that isn’t abstract) is to strip sensations down to their bare bones.

For Senryu Sunday and Paint by Words, I wrote my latest senryu to honor synesthesia awareness:

hummingbird moth:
knowing names
by flavor

✨️🧊🌊🥂🌊🧊✨️ sparkling champlain i sip a string of pearls #EastCoastKin #Stunday #ImageAndVerse #senryu #senryusunday #micropoetry #photography #nature #NaHaiWriMo #classicmono

This is a black and white landscape nature photo I took of Lake Champlain from the shore in Burlington Vermont.

Elegant rays fan over the glimmering lake. Winter sun's bright reflection glows atop the right surface of Champlain and stretches left into a thin line of light. Brooding clouds, the prominent horizon line, and a textured expanse of dark waves all add contrasting layers to the image. It was an effervescent moment that paused time, and inspired my latest senryu:

sparkling champlain
i sip
a string of pearls

Fun fact: Perlage is a wine (champagne) term to describe the continuous stream of small bubbles, often called a string of pearls, that rise inside the drinking glass.
