Tools of the trade: Synesthesia
by Dave Author IconMail Icon
In real life, synesthesia is a neurological condition in which the stimulation of one sense triggers a reaction in another sense. Imagine tasting chocolate every time you see the color red.

In poetry, it is the practice of blending multiple sensory references in a single description, as in

The hot pink t-shirt screamed for attention.


Thus, the reader's sensory perception is enhanced by adding the tactile "hot" and the audio "screamed" to the visual "pink."

More examples can be found in the following links: http://hellopoetry.com/words/140060/synesthesia/poems/
