Synaesthesia
 

Two Magnolia Blossoms in a Glass Vase, by Martin Johnson Heade, c. 1890
 
The images appear so real—
The challenge is to look, not touch.
How do those luscious petals feel?
The images appear so real!
Slick leaves, soft velvet, too, appeal
To all who gaze amazed at such.
The images appear so real—
The challenge is to look, not touch!
