Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Sense of flavor or Quality of something?

While you all were busy digging and trolling through "Writing.Com 101" yesterday, I learned something new as well! *Magnify* Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet? *Butterfly2O* Do you think taste is an under-utilized sense in writing? Reflect on how taste can be better utilized in your writing to enhance a scene.

a sense of something in your mouth or a quality of something.

I doubt it is really under utilized. Because, any writing is better presented with the descriptions it has utilized.

Of Course, there is always the physical tasting of snacks as the writer or reader progresses through a story or article or poem, as it is being read or written. .

Descriptions make the story. Descriptions place the scenes. The wrapper on the candy crinkled as I unwound it. One lick told me the solid red sweet was the flavor of cinnamon. Or, some people think that a girl with purple stripes in her hair, long dangling bangles on her ears, ripped blue jeans, and bare feet doesn't have any taste in outfits.

Taste is probably the sense that makes the world of writing spin. Description is the use of sensory writing.

If you can taste it you can describe it.
