what if colors were a smell?

What if colors were a smell? What if every time I looked into those eyes I would smell the ocean breeze, instead of noticing how intensely blue they were?
And what about a rainbow? Would it be a flower garden? A sweet shop? A tropical rainforest?
Then, there's the colors of the ever-changing and beautiful sky. Would the shades of a pale morning sky be coffee and croissants - or fresh, sweet-scented laundry? Would the dark shades of inky night sky be the musty smell of a  fireplace - or would that be the intense evening sky colors, set ablaze by the sun? What if colors were a smell?

This is an extract of something I scribbled onto the back of some work in school today. It's actually quite an interesting thought. So, what are some smells you think would belong to your favorite color?

in which i attempt to make my own blackout poems


I said: "why not?", and here they are.



Poem i. reads...

beautiful sunlight so prized by the shade, of eyes merry and arrogant, as the sun slanted down in the green trees of white blossoms.

Poem ii. reads...

oaks and night air, so pretty from the upstairs window (between fluttering curtains), down the path toward the dark cedar, bringing a small ray of hope.
