texture

Listen to poem:
Texture is nature's and life's universal adornment. Texture titillates and tantalises the senses, adorning the smooth, flat and boring with bumps, context, meaning, dimensions and grip. See me, hear me, touch me, smell me, taste me - all get embellished and seasoned with texture. Texture is the crunch when you taste, the touche roughness of shape when you touch, the crescendo of flavors tasted in potpourri on tongue. Texture is pattern, light, shade, color and complexity in visual images. Texture is the render and surface pattern on 3D images, sculpture and buildings. It is the feel, depth and glow of paint, and how it looks, on a canvas with brush stroke and palette press. To touch, texture is the heart and soul of everything felt, it's essence and being. For touch is the master, because it drives and stimulates the illusion of touch in all the other senses. To the sense of smell, texture is the blend and kaleidoscope of odors. It's why sniffing roses, and other aromas works in therapy. Texture adorns: => For sky it's clouds, for night it's stars, for moon it's craters, for earth it's seas and landscapes. For ocean it's waves, for pond it's ripples, for stream it's burble, babble and bubble. For plants it's leaves, for trees it's bark, for forests it's trees. For beach it's sand, for rock it's grit, for field it's furrow, for landscape it's contour, hills and dales. For road it's gravel, for tire it's tread, for slippery slope it's steps. For verse it's rhyme, meter, pattern and word-play. For music it's melody, harmony, timbre and chord. For art it's accent, stroke remnants, collage, composition, surface form, color and highlights. For design it's pattern, tactile feel or illusion and adding second and third dimensions. For jazz it's syncopation, swing, discords and blue notes. For physical order it's entropy and entanglement, and texture rules because particles only exist when we observe them. For bird it's feathers, fish and reptile it's scales, for mammal it's fur. For naked apes it's hair and clothes bedecked with patterns, color, thread and texture. For friends it's ups and downs, gives and takes, riding rough-shot over the bumps. For age it's wrinkles and worry lines in brows. For partners it's compromise, agreement, battles won and lost, lessons learnt. For lovers it's teases and leg-pulls, tiffs, break-ups and make-ups, and sensual play with touch and textures. Texture says it all.
