Snails, Eggnog and Fillets of Flamboyance

To tired to be original...

I
turn
its
pages:
caporal,
capote,
what a marvel
to pronounce these plosive
syllables,
and further on,
capsule,
unfilled, awaiting ambrosia or oil
and others,
capsicum, capricorn
words
as slippery as smooth grapes,
words exploding in the light
like dormant seeds waiting
in the vaults of vocabulary,
alive again and giving life:
once again the heart distills them.
from "Ode to a Dictionary"

I've got to make my work exciting somehow.... What are your favourite words???

How does a dyslexic, agnostic insomiac spend his time?

He lies awake all night wondering if there is a Dog.
