'The End'

Another writing challenge from Naming Constellations:
http://namingconstellations.wordpress.com/2012/01/06/reverie-one-synaesthetic-gems

Here's the set of words I ended up with (senses vs corresponding - or not so much - objects):

Sight: Christmas tree
Hearing: couch
Smell: stereo             
Taste: photograph  
Touch: clock    

Here's my attempt to put it all together...


'The End'

The image is from flickr
       .
 The stereo’s still ‘roasting those chestnuts,’
But Christmas photographs look stale already,
Time’s running through my fingers like Dali’s clock,
An old couch’s trying to console the needle-crying tree, 
“It’s not the end.”




Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur

  1. Wasn't sure what this was about so I visited Naming Constellations.

    1. It is confusing, isn't it? Interesting, though, a very unusual writing prompt.
