Fascination with words
What do you think of when someone says the word "twang?"
Music?
Clashing?
Guitar strings?
I love words.
Here's some favorites of mine:
linger
sailing
Meander
garden
ice
watching
Starbucks
blatant
blindfold
S words and names
Starli
Sami
Sean
Samuel
simpering
simmer

octopus
spider
stammer
stutter

gazebo
I could go on and on. Words. Lovely. Strange. Fascinating. Fun. String them together. Write them singly. Whisper, stutter, shout them. Think or speak them. Use them in poems, letters, documents, court case arguments, White House speeches, beggar pleas, novels.
Bad words. Good words. Gospel words.
Words that send you straight to a dictionary.
Words that are so common we don't even think about them.
What if we didn't have them? Had to draw pictures like some ancestors did?
I'd be up a creek and without a paddle; I can't draw a stick figure!

I know what you mean about words but for me they don't come when I need then. LOL
Azure...love that one. I also get to use it in Scrabble which always takes my opponent by surprise.
Starbucks....do you have a secret obsession perhaps? heh
Deejay, I'll never tell. But don't you feel positively glamorous drinking Starbucks?
Sharen, I'd pull my hair out everytime I get stuck in writing when I need a word & can't think what it is. Drives me crazy (or should I say crazier?)LOL
