What’s in a word? – Tangerine

What’s in a word? – Tangerine

Breakfast, refreshing, not an orange, squirt, luscious, zesty, fruit, round, vibrant, sweet, desire, inviting, thirst, quench, nourishment, skin, flesh, segments, liquid, juice…

By now you may have noted that I have a little bit of the “gift of gab“…well okay, a lot of that gift!  I truly do love words and how they can be written in such a way as to paint the most lovely of pictures, even though they are simply letters placed on a page, or a screen.  I also appreciate you, my readers, and I always enjoy hearing from you.  So, as homage to the wonderful world of words and to give you a chance to join in helping me to spread my gift, I have decided to begin a monthly series entitled “What’s in a word?”

Each month, I will choose a random word, anything that pops into my head at the time, or one that has been on my mind for a while.  Then I will proceed to list all of the words or phrases that I can think of to describe it.  This is actually an exercise that I employ when developing a poem or one of my essays.  My hope is that you will share your thoughts on the words that I offer to you as well…who knows, perhaps they will inspire your creative side.  You never know what you’ll find in a word!

Peace and love,

Felecia
