The Beauty of Words

The words you choose can be seductive. They expose your wit, your intelligence, your creativity and your charm without you having to come right out and declare that you have those qualities. And it often seems that the most fetching expressions are those that are rarely used. That’s a pity.

I love delicious repartee. I do not require adulation, only droll parlance. Entice me with your bonhomie and you will win my veneration. I will hold you forever in my high esteem.

I long to hear words that aren’t often uttered. Circumnavigate. Meander. Peruse. Trifle. Blunder. Toothsome. Pulchritude. Thoroughfare. I would prefer a good turn of phrase to a dozen roses any day.

Here is the very key to me: I can be easily ensorcelled (my favorite word of all) by your pithy commentary. Cogitate upon that if you so desire.

  1. I just love the repartee between you and pouringmyartout. I used to have that with a friend many, many years ago. Sorta like having a twin. Lucky for both of you and your audience.
