Word of the Day

Join in with the "Word of the Day".

Leave a comment in which you use the day's selected (not "select") word in some way. You may simply write a simple sentence, a flash fiction story, a poem, you decide.

Or, if you want, discuss how you first heard the word or ponder the meaning. Remember, words are a game to be played, not just a vocabulary to memorize.

Have fun.

The vagaries of my thought process are interrupted by the arrival of the WotD. Brief focus follows. After that moment...Ooh, lookit the pretty butterfly!
