V.J’s Weekly Challenge #108 – Taste – Taste is the focus this week. As you might have guessed, I am tugging at our sensory experience with these current challenges, although the word ‘taste’ has other connotations. Look forward to your responses. Anyone can join in, and all forms of creativity are welcome.

Interesting form – had not heard of it before. Tastes from the past can be both sweet or sour – the blessing in the interpretation.
