Oh, I love things like this! :) I've been dying to try this exercise out on other writers.

(Examples: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, longing, humiliation, etc.)

Longing
* If this feeling was a color, it would be...?
* If this feeling was the weather, it would be...?
* If this feeling was a landscape, it would be...?
* If this feeling was music, it would be...?
* If this feeling was one object, it would be...?

Oh, I guess I have to play too! Ok, here goes...

Longing
* If this feeling was a color, it would be pale blue, soft pink, or a faint, faint yellow.
* If this feeling was the weather, it would be a steady rain on a gray, cloudless afternoon.
* If this feeling was a landscape, it would be the treeless horizon of a Scottish moor.
* If this feeling was music, it would be Otis Redding, playing on my radio.
* If this feeling was one object, it would be a child's toy in a childless woman's arms.

AWESOME game!:)

Shame
* If this feeling was a color, it would be silver.
* If this feeling was the weather, it would be an intermittent wind on an otherwise still, sunny day.
* If this feeling was a landscape, it would be a grassy field with a shallow ditch or crevasse that has a long unstable overhang.
* If this feeling was music, it would be a whimpering folk song.
* If this feeling was one object, it would be something metallic and rigid that folds in on itself.

It would be cool if the person who posts could assign the next feeling to be described. How would folks feel about that? It feels too familiar using a feeling i've chosen myself.
