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."
