I’m asking about this not because I have a tendency to do so myself, but rather because I find it unusually aggravating when I come across it in other people’s works. I’m wondering if this sort of thing is acceptable, and if people like it. I’ll give a couple examples. > I unwrapped a candy and put it in my mouth. The sweet flavor of green apple ran wild on my tongue. And here’s one more. > She found a bag of food they had brought with them and picked out a pomegranate, then opened it and picked out some seeds. The seeds exploded with juice when they touched her tongue and made her feel less hungry. (I didn’t write these.) My question: is this considered a bad writing habit, or is it all a matter of opinion?
