‘mellifluous’ is yellow,
a mango
‘diabolical’ is red,
a Habanero
‘shimmering’ is gold,
champagne
‘malevolent’ is purple,
indelible liquorice
chocolate is black,
chocolate! What do you think?!
‘patented’ is …
..inedible

Wow! I love the fresh crisp creativity of this piece! Gorgeous and enticingly thought provoking. I wonder if liquorice will taste malevolent after this… 😉
Thanks, Vampireweather – it certainly looks wicked on the teeth, ha,ha
I agree 🙂 Fantastic peom – I have colours for lots of words – must be based on historical associations I suppose (I have colours for names too) – haha Habanero is a splendid word isn’t it!
Thanks, Gabe – Habanero is a lovely word and a diabolically tasty chilli, he, he.
Bwahaha – @ purple-black teeth!
Black – evil – temptation = chocolate
and you’re dead right, Bb, patented – leather – inedible
Nice post with a difference… Love it!
Thanks, Adee 🙂 Just a bit of fun. Dark chocolate IS evil but oh so delicious
the taste and colour of words, … always a treat to read your poems bb, and I am tasting the words ‘mellifluous’ sounds vaguely sinister but at the same time, rolls off the tongue… like melted chocolate… Sigh!! got any?… 😉 xPenx
Thank you, Pen 😀 ‘rolls off the tongue’ is a wonderful take on mellifluous – the deep beautiful voices of men. I’ve put myself on chocolate rations, so haven’t any to spare, he,he 😉
I quite enjoyed this, BB!
Chocolate is “a warm embrace.” A hug filled with grace. 😉
Glad you did, Nancy. Tis a ‘warm embrace’, indeed – a naughty comfort 😉
Nice parallel of words, BB. Thoroughly creative writing.
I loved it.

Thank you, John – just a little bit of synaesthetic fun 🙂
I LOVE patented….each word carries its shades of meaning 🙂
It gets short shrift here, Kate, because it is one of my unpronounceables, as is ‘interminable’ and ”perspicacity’ 😉
You have such a great imagination and way with words. It’s odd, but I have often thought of licorice as being malevolent. Have you ever seen it being made ? The colour and texture is like something from the depths of hell. I absolutely love this, Bluebee!
Thanks, Selma! Purple, malevolent and liquorice together conjure up visions of Cruella de Ville 😉 I haven’t seen it made which is probably just as well given your description 😀
Oh licorice, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways……
Are you one of the intrepids who eats the salty variety?
I love this – clever, creative and funny.
Thanks, Tilly 😀
Love the poem and the “crisp” comment. Chocolate is – well, itself. Words never tasted so good.
Yes, its wicked, delicious self. Thanks, Monica 😀
A wonderful combination of words, colors, tastes that is awesome.
Glad you enjoyed the mix, Renee 🙂
Bluebee, I thought you might like to see this interview with pianist and wolf conservationist Helene Grimaud. The link is through Josh Alexander’s WolfDefenders blog. Grimaud talks about her music and synesthesia.
Thank you, Monica. I shall certainly take a look – it’s a truly fascinating neurological phenomenon, but one, I would imagine, that’s quite disorientating to experience at the level that synaesthetes do.
