February Writing Challenge:

When I read, I often keep a scrap of paper handy as a bookmark, or in addition to. I write down words that are new to me, which I am unsure of, or that are used in a way which differs from my understanding.

The list of words which follows are primarily from the First North Americans series by Kathleen O’Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear. My challenge to us is to choose at least three words, ideally words that are new to you, and to employ them in a poem or work of short fiction.



privation
friable
colluvial
lissomely
reverie
muzzy
fescue
languorous
buff
verdant
parfleche
sere
bole
lope
fetid
miasma
slaking
sloe
mano
galena
gorget
chindi
Hosteen
dottle
dross
phytolith
rictus
sororate
littoral

I wonder what we’ll come up with. Ready? Go!
