my favorite word today is
VERMILION
sounds like it means
so much red,
you can’t count.
But say it slow for me, for yourself and note:
how it makes you almost bite your bottom lip
you pout the V out and open with the R
and moisten your lip closed with the M
open again and tongue your teeth with the L
smooth your tongue in the middle for the “ya”
with the coupled L and I and back to the roof
of your mouth with the N to close the word off.
it’s a work out, a rather sexy word
if you let it be.
now – give me one of your favorite words.
