Scientific Abstraction Projects
Mini Project #1
Object: .45 mm handgun
See – Shining silver, clean, bright, reflective surface
Hear – Cries, the click of the hammer cocking, the sound of fingers caressing the surface
Smell – The scent of freshly spent ammunition, metal, pride and tears
Touch/Feel – A smooth chamber, a serpent engraved on the oversized safety, cold
Taste – Loss, burnt air
Mini Project #2
See – A medley of reds, greens, blues and purples cutting through the night sky over a white landscape, sparkles, shines
Hear – A light sound like the gentle humming of TV static, the soft blowing of cold wind
Smell – Sherbet or watered-down Italian ice. I smell serenity
Touch/Feel – bubbling excitement, loneliness as though it were tangible, the cold air stiffening my fingers
Taste – I taste ecstasy. Something like hope stands on the middle of my tongue
The Heart
A spiritual metaphor of the aurora
A spiraling display of convictions, contradictions, dreams and nightmares,
Brimming and glowing on a spectrum of neon emotion,
With flashes of vexation mingled with glimmers of passion
Shimmers of joy painted with bursts of melancholy
Inconsistent, ever-shifting,
This palette of celestial chroma hovers over the canvas of life,
Coloring each moment
Forever changing, Forever human
Mini Project #3
*Haiku Version*
Myriad Feelings,
Like a Spectrum of Color,
Embodies the Heart
