Sometimes words are boring and often, we get tired of reading and writing. But there's also some fun and beautiful words out there in the English language. When you read each of these words, try to tie and image or a feeling to each of them!
1. Bucolic
Werner Sevenster
"In a lovely rural setting." I immediately pictured a beautiful sunset over a few houses. It's calm, quiet, and peaceful. There may be a few birds chirping here and there. Overall, the theme is bliss.
2. Labyrinthine
Ashley Batz
"Twisting and turning." For this word, I pictured a maze or a street with lots of turns. It's crazy but beautiful.
3. Efflorescence
Leigh Kendell
"Flowering, blooming." Immediately, I pictured flowers in my mind. Bright, beautiful and budding.
4. Opulent

"Lush, luxuriant."
5. Gossamer
Michael Podger
"The finest piece of thread, a spider's silk." My first reaction was to picture a spider web covered in dew drops.
6. Panacea
Anthony Indraus
"A solution for all problems."
7. Sumptuous
Cristy Zinn
"Lush, luxurious." The first image that came to mind when I heard this was a beautiful, full rose. Nothing is more luxurious than that.
8. Evanescent
Fluidr
"Vanishing quickly, lasting a very short time."
9. Mellifluous
Javier Piernagord
"Sweet sounding." When I heard this word my first thought was sitting near an ocean, listening to the waves hit the shore.
10. Serendipity
Milada Vigerova
"Finding something nice while looking for something else." This word reminds me a lot of peace and harmony.
Words can be beautiful and fun! You just have to look out for them. Hopefully, now you have a few words to doodle in your notebook or calendars this week. Try to fit these into your journal entry or maybe slide one into your next short story.
