The Color of a Song

The Color of a Song, by Alexandra Dickerman

During this past year of isolation, when we were unable to attend concerts or go to church or museums or out to restaurants, so many sensory experiences were denied to us. This poem is about sensory experiences— and how they might sometimes overlap.

    “the sharp and spicy scent of wonder..” Ah, the perfect Romantic. You ought to have been born in, well, maybe, 1810 or so. You can’t tell me you don’t feel a bit discombobulate here in the 21st century

  7. Alexandra Dickerman says:

    1810? Hmm…
    Thanks for watching David, and for your always-interesting and intriguing comments.

    Thanks Liz, it’s been so long since we have been able to really get out and explore our world. I always think poetry helps, whatever other limitations we face. Miss you!
