Enjoying the 'mouth feel' of words is indeed a delight. You used such lovely descriptions in the words you shared, showing personal emotional connections.

I agree (filigree) is a lovely word and I have a delicate necklace with filigree. Gossamer makes me think of spider webs, Halcyon are memories and immortal makes me think I will live forever. I enjoyed your musings here Heather, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Aren't they marvellous words to feast on, to chew up and digest, this is an excellent ABC poetic entry in this contest Maria, I only speak English, with only a smattering of French and German. So, unlike my wife, who is fluent in three, and a progressing fourth, I am lost for words. Well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Hello Maria. I haven't seen you post something in forever it seems. This is excellent and if I had a sixer I would surely give it to you. This tells of the different sounds of words and the last line I love the most. Where it says you don't need to ask me, I am lucky I have a treasure chest full of sounds!
This is marvelous and speaks of word sounds that honor the usage of language.
Jesse

I have to confess I've been pretty lazy and haven't written at all.
Thanks so much for your kind review and for the virtual sixer.
Have a lovely Sunday.

No worries. We all go through times like that.
Write when you want to and nothing more.

Loved this! And yes, we writers are all "word collectors" and you chose some of my favorites: filigree, gossamer, halcyon! I particularly liked "like lace hanging from my mouth." Hope this does well in the contest!
