Describe a flower garden, but do not use any color adjectives (i.e., don't use descriptive words like red, yellow, green). Ideas: Tell me how your body senses the garden? How does red feel? What is yellow? Imagine how it would feel to step into a flower garden without eyesight, then explain it to me. Get visceral...describe the scene either directly or indirectly. Be creative. :) Or go totally metaphorical with it. Think outside the box. Oh, and make it a micro-poem, too. Have fun!

Horizonist in Poetry & Free Verse

Efflorescent Immersion

An intoxicating gauze, a blend of perfumes,

Interwoven intricately ephemerally. 

Intrinsically enthralling and soft to the touch,

Thick layers or flimsy peel.

Velvety pillows veiled with a rough skin.

A faint rustling,

A gentle tornado,

A dress, a twirl of caressing petals.

Prickly and sudden, drawing blood,

Appearance versus reality.
