There are words that I like not just for their meanings but for the way they feel when I say them.  I couldn’t write a post long enough to include all the words I like, so I’ve randomly picked these few,  In no particular order:

It is hard to separate the meanings from the words.  Lush is just so la-la-la- lush.  Luxurious sounds like what it means.  On the other hand,  banal (pronounced ba-nall) is a word whose pronunciation I enjoy but whose meaning I strive not to have in my life.  Awry – sometimes things go awry…they fall apart.  The sassiness of salsa is inevitably linked to the sound of the word for me.  when I say it, I see and feel red.  And passion well, I hear the pronunciation of that word by Milton Nascimento as he sings it in a duet with Sarah Vaughn.

There are names I like as well:

And Tessil…your name feels just right in my mouth…it was one of the reasons I married you.
