    Similar to WOTD which (I think) was hosted by Jordan a while ago...something (as suggested in the other thread I hope comes back) Sibs' Daily Sip was about sharing poetry if I remember correctly. Anyway...each member gives a word and the next has to make a sentence including this word and then provide a new word for the next member and so on. Ideally, just like word of the day, we all learn from participating so...here goes...example:-

    Quixotic

    I'm sure you have been guilty of engaging in a little obfuscation in your line of work Larry?

    His haecceity was intoxicating, everything that moved around him was crafted by his spirit and I could not mimic his character.

    Syzygy is an alignment of astronomical object that sailors have understood and used for centuries. While I can't even pronounce it haha!!! That was a tricky one! I think there are only around 30 words in the English language that don't have vowels. Does anyone know what this group of word are called?
