A Little Bit of Everything

Sensory Appeal: The Cool, The Crisp, The Creamy

Cutting and strong, a thing of fall, meant for pumpkin spice and autumn leaves.

Tinny, hollow, all encompassing; the thud of impact and the quiet rivulet.

A crunch or a swoosh as ice and snow lay claim to the tread of your shoes.

Morning and sunshine, so welcoming though bitter, it cleans the palate.

A sudden, sharp pain, the thudding of my heart. An irrational fear but unavoidable.

Pins and needles, sleeping pain, numbness before hurt.

Deep, rushing breaths, the slamming of a heartbeat, clammy palms and fast reflexes.

Coldness seeping deeper than ever, in my head then down into my throat and stomach. Freezing.

An itchy nose at brand new freshness, bright green, nature’s crisp, recent perfume.

Light and airy and fluffy and weird. Creamy and solid but spun with wind.

Majestic for some but not special to me; simple wing beats and the woosh of feathers as they beat the air.

Smooth in one place, rough in another, felt in two places instead of just one.

A screech of a beggar unwanted at the beach. Angrier as it flies away.

A cooling sensation, spread gently along softness. A tingling in my teeth and a drip on my tongue.

Fine and smooth, nearly liquid, slips through fingers but it tugs back.

Buzzing like angry wasps, a feeling in the back of your mouth, a thrumming in the temples.

The sudden choking, gasping for air. Near death, though over dramatic. Cough cough cough.
