                                       run in golden warm fuzzy tones
                                    seductive tingling sweet vanilla sauce
                                   silky sticky smooth caramel flowing free
                                   his saxophone slapping cool air sparkling
                                  colors supersonic and flaring like fireworks
                                    vibrant vibration tumbling tingling toes
                                        pulsing souls resonating so deeply
                                         captivating scintillating thrilling
                                                  C  O  L  T  R  A  N  E

Way cool, Lonna! Amazing imagery - "silky sticky smooth caramel," "sweet vanilla sauce," "deep throated husky honey." The merging of music and food images is so creative. Delicious! And I love the shape! Congratulations on your first place win! Really love this.
