i like words
that
mean what
they sound
bamboozle, flummox,
festoon
or sound what
they mean
chattanooga
choo choo.
sometimes
words
mean
something mean
devious,
diabolical, machiavellian
or invoke a
dream
quixotic, visionary,
idyllic.
you can
laugh
at words
that are funny
cattywampus,
discombobulate, wonky
or words
that are funny to say
worcestershire,
hullabaloo, flibbertigibbet
there are words
for letting
go
ephemeral, evanescent,
fleeting
or others for holding tight
grasp, clench,
embrace.
some words
inspire
change
adventure,
creativity, curiosity
or provide
anchor
gratitude,
contentment, peace.
mostly
though
i like words
spoken and written
or, neither
spoken nor written
but understood.
