My post yesterday got me thinking about words. There are some words that just sound so good, feel so good to say, regardless of what they mean. I've realised that, for some reason, a lot of the words I particularly like begin with 'm' - murmuration, mellifluous, melismatic, mesmerising. I also love the musical direction lontano, meaning to play something so it sounds like it's in the distance. Here is a Wordle image of some of the other words I've jotted down.
What are some of your favourite words?
I like your words but I shall have to think a little before deciding on mine. I just accidently poured two thirds of my home made macaroni cheese down the sink, so happy soothing words are not to the forefront of my mind at present. I left the scene of the crime to find consolation and your lovely words, and edible flora and fauna have cheered me up very well. I'm sure you will find or even make a career out of such deliciousness.
