Word

Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.

A man of words and not of deeds

The old folks say that the spoken word is the garment of the soul. What man of true wit would clothe his beloved in filth and tatters?

What I feel for you,
I can't put in words,
language won't hold
my desire.
