Synaesthete

Ok, so I had a new idea just now and I thought I might try it out here (and maybe it'd help revive the forum???) Right now, it's called synesthesia exercise, but that could change if a better, more clever name comes up. Every few days, I'll make a new thread for the synesthesia exercise, to keep it new, and so people don't confuse different exercises. Here's how it works:
I'll name an object, a song (with a link), a situation, weather, etc. and each person participating has to describe it in a way that relates to their syn. For example, pencils could go something like this:
16 on 25,
it takes the dive
onto December,
striking out in 3's
that which comes to me.
(Translates to: pink on yellow, it takes the dive, onto white, striking out in black, that which comes to me)

I thought it might be a fun way to get to know each other's syn and exercise our own! You can write it in any form, paint a picture, or make a song, it just can't be a direct description (like: the yellowness is scratched away as I sharpen it).
I realize that this is purely for syns, but I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate non-syns so they can have some fun too. If anyone has any ideas, don't hesitate to post!

Topic for this exercise: Clocks

Midnight purple
Swirling and twirling 5 and 6
Encompassing 3 in a mild manner
The contradictions are calming

Right and left,
The months and days
Are only seconds and minutes,
Constant and 8

Pi sounds the cadence
I fall back into the dance
Until 2 steals the scene
3.14159

My concentration is broken
I return to work
