Rules of Play:
(1) I (The Muse) offer my first reader a word.
(2) They must take that word and use it in a sentence.
Posting it in the comment box
(3) Then they must GIVE another word, which will be the NEXT reader’s Gift.
Shall we play?
The word which I gift to thee is:
Effulgence
Comments (30)
The moment i laid eyes on your sentence I was blinded by the effulgence of the words and the way they held letters in a dance of meanings.
The word I propose is: pleonexia
(excellent word choice! welcome to the game!)
My sentence is:
Engulfed in pleonexia, his spirit was imprisoned and his heart would never be free.
New Word(for the NEXT reader) is:
