The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out
|
Mellifluous. One yummy sounding word.
 |
| The sound of warm honey, sliding from the spoon. . . |
 |
| water sheeting over sleepy midstream boulders. . . |
 |
| leaves whispering secrets to the jays and chickadees. . . |
 |
| a kitten purring contentment into your lap. |
Ah, what a word that is! Do you have a word that really appeals to your ear?

Spent the day catching up on reading posts! Your post reminds me of all the sounds that can lul me to sleep! 🙂
Love the word and images that go with it!
You picked some perfect examples for mellifluous. Loved the honey and the kitten especially!
I love the word- and the images to go with it! Just perfect! 🙂

Isn't that just a wonderful word. 🙂

Honey and kittens in one post?! I don't think my soul is able to handle it 🙂
That is a pretty phenomenal word though.
Whenever I'm asked what my favourite word is, I say this one. 🙂
I will find a way to use this word today! 😉
What a lovely, melodic word!
Great word and I like the pictures you chose.
I agree with Michael that this has been very soothing…almost meditative! Aah…mellifluous.

The word works for me… I feel its soothing aura…
It's a fabulous word! And yeah, I love kitties 🙂
Aha and oh my, some gentle mellifluous scrolling to get to the comments section! 🙂 Sorry about that "mouse"! Happy alphabeting.
Gary at the alternate challenge 🙂
A lovely, relaxing word.
Those sounds are all as sweet as the word. Aww, kitties.
'tis really a word sweet as honey 🙂
There are tons of words that have a distinct aural appeal… and also French words…
Here are a few M words:
Miscellaneous, Melee, Mesmerise, Mandarin, MumboJumbo, Macabre, Melancholy, Moccasin, Monumental, Monstrosity, Maestro…
Oodles of Caboodles – love the sound of that!

I think you're right. M has a lot of sounds that are appealing.
One of the most soothing sounds ever…the sound of our cat purring 🙂

Like Barbara, your pictures really help see the beauty of the word.
Every time I've ever seen the word mellifluous it's been accompanied in some way with honey. LOL
What a great word. And the photos really put it in place for me.
Waves lapping on a sandy short…
Oh yes. That's a wonderful sound.
awesome pictures to describe a beautiful word. 🙂 I do love kitty purrs 🙂

As a teen, I had a cat who slept at the top of my pillow and would purr all night. She was a great sleeping buddy!
Cute kitty. Our cats rarely purr, but when they do, it's a treat.
Listening to a cat purr really is relaxing. And I'd have to add the sound of my son sighing in his sleep. Gets me every time!

Yes. That is a wonderful sound. So contented.
The sound of purring is such a contented sound. I'll add the sound of a soft rain at night.
Nice addition, indeed.
I love the river but I think also the laughter of a four year old fits the word.
Yes, that too is music to the ear.
Just don't get the kitten and honey mixed up. That would be one heck of a mess.
We had a mouse drop into an open jar of honey once. Not pretty and not easy to deal with! Shudder.
