Sometimes words and phrases are fun just to hear and feel. The best words (that don't have to be connected to emotions or thoughts) are words with sounds that make language delightful.
I'm talking about words that have rhythms or melodies when they roll off your tongue. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers....feels good when I say it out loud. So does the word, serendipity. I don't even have to know what that word means for this writing exercise. It just feels good to say.
What word or phrase can you think of that has rhythm, rhyme, or melody! Let's see how long our list can grow. The nice thing about our lists is that when we need to find a word for something else we are writing, we can refer back to our own creative thesaurus!
