Slippery, sibilant, sensuous, speculative words Words that slide from the lips, succulent and sweet Words that feed the soul, even if they are silently said Tumbling, terrific, terrifying, titillating words Words that are tart on the tongue, tasty and tingling Words that satisfy the temptation to try anything Writhing, wiggling, wrenching, wasteful words Words that worm their way into our lives, waving their arms Words that wriggle into our hearts and minds Calling, crying, chaste, challenging words Words that call out to the universe, changing minds Words that clamber to be heard, climbing out in spite of everything Dangling, dissonant, dangerous, desperate words Words that divide, dissect, making us desire more Words that dance, whirling dervishes of ideas and thoughts |

An enjoyable read.  It is said that the hand is the "teacher and agent of the brain", but upon reading this I realize that that is no less descriptive of the tongue. |

Thank you. One person who read this said it was an "overuse of alliteration" but I think he missed the point. Just reading words aloud is as pleasureable as eating chocolate for me |
