So I'm sitting here looking at this list of the 117 most beautiful words in the English language --> blog.topplaza.com/2011/05/117-… <-- and have decided that since I'm failing miserably at creating something non-nostalgic lately, you people should write epic things and I shall reward you, and I also decided that I should totally stop writing in run-on sentences. Oops.


The prompt:
I've picked the 5 words from that list of wordies that I like best and/or think sound the weirdest:

Dalliance A brief love affair.
Embrocation Rubbing on a lotion.
Lissome Slender and graceful.
Mellifluous Sweet sounding.
Scintilla A spark or very small thing.


You are to write a poem using one or more of the words and the poem must sound natural and knock my imaginary socks off. Link me in this journal or via note and I'll fav it and put it in a little folder over in la-la land for inebriated judging done me me and me alone unless I ask someone else for help.

Do it, yeah? I'll give a 6-month premium membership to the entry that I like best. Bribery is not forbidden and I will accept all forms of ego-stroking in addition to your creative efforts. That's not to say it'll better your chances of winning, but ya know...it never hurts.


:bulletred: The Rules: Only one entry. That's the only rule, 'cause I believe in being unruly. Also, anyone can enter. I don't care if you hate me or my writing or even if you don't like puppies. (But I wouldn't admit to any of that in your entry.)

:bulletred: The Dealine: Let's shoot for July 31st. Remind me if I forget.

:bulletred: The Prize: Scroll back up; it's listed.

***Oh, and side perk: I'll give any of you that enter 10 points just because I think you're pretty.***

Got it? If not, you may inquire below. You're also welcome to tell me how your day went or how you like your potatoes.

Submit, all of you. It'll hurt my feelings and is likely to piss me off if you don't enter. :blowkiss:
