Word Challenge

A relatively easy task ~

Describing slinking sadness, 

gritty grief or eroding envy,

any nasty negative emotions
felt when whirling in an emotional hole with shovels, muck and nasty slime.

Another relatively easy task ~ 

Describing explosive emotions, in their ballooning brilliance, will wave magic wands, set off festive fireworks and play rippling rhythms splashed with chichi colours. 

How does one describe cheer? 

Words for calm contentment

seem so bland, so flat. 

This cherished centre on a rolling continuum

is only felt in whispered wisps and breaths  

with wandering hums and whistles .

“Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil 

to draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. 

Confusing. Frustrating….but there are 

other ways to understanding.”

~ Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
