Comments: THE LETTERS.

Goodness, that's excellent! I like it at least as much as I do Voyelles.

...(is D supposed to be O there? It's the same on Julia's site, but I'm a little puzzled...)

I too was puzzled by that. Perhaps Jonathan will weigh in with an explanation. For the moment, I'm assuming she simply felt like writing about D. At any rate, I agree: it's a wonderful poem.

The letters spell out 'adieu', so I wonder if Julia has that in mind.

Lucky, lucky child.

She asked me if she had to do only vowels and I said she could do any letters she wanted. D was green for her because of the "ee" sound, she told me.

My wife and her sister are both color-number synaesthetes. I'm pretty sure that neither one has ever written a poem about it.
