Early Morning Light on the Water of Leith

Early morning potter today this was around 6:25am.

Today's Exercise

List abstract words and then describe them through the senses.

Words:-
Love
Anger
Desire
Loneliness

Love
Love smells like a sewage farm on a hot summer’s day.

Anger
Anger feels like the exquisite sensation of an ice cube applied to the back of the neck.

Desire
Desire is like being drawn by the sensuous smell of honeysuckle, only to find that the flower is out of reach.

Loneliness
Loneliness sounds like waves crashing against rocks mingled with the plaintive cry of seagulls.

Here I have used the strategies of metaphor and subversion.
