Challenge
Use your five senses.
So, this has been done repeatedly, but it's always a good technique to practice. The idea here is to use your five senses to describe an emotion. For example, what does madness smell like? What does happiness sound like, taste like, feel like to the touch? If you could take a photograph of loneliness, what would it look like? For example, a lady I knew once described confusion as tasting like Chinese food; one can't tell if it is sweet, sour, or salty.
Those are the rules. Use all your five senses to describe an emotion (no using an emotion to describe another emotion, though!) to the very best of your ability. Poetry, prose, short story, whichever one you prefer, it is all fair game. Tag me at the bottom of your entry, por favor.
Stress
The faint suspecting winter melon scent vibrated at a frequency, aspiring to tingle my nostrils at dawn as i was attempting to break free from a dream that painted my town red with silver hues, a combination that does not please the colour wheel from what i envisioned. Quickly grabbing the straps of my partial hooked vintage bra, I released them with a snap that painfully scratched my exhausted shoulders from all the tossing and turning on my foam stiff mattress that felt like a hundred years old. My reminder alarm went off within seconds and caught me off guard producing a memory tunnel back to the terrible mistake i tasted last night.
