The Connecting Link
As writers, we always look for new ways to use words when describing a poem, a scene, a dialouge; even our own thoughts. I am a firm believer that words have brought us over the centuries to where we are today. Quite honestly, without them, we would all be stumbling, blithering idiots.
In Webster's Dictionary, there are 49 words that begin with the word "link". I give you 21 of them and have added a few others using the word, link.
Perhaps one day, these words may come in handy for the Book of Prose or Poetry, or that grand novel shuffling about in your brain that may well one day win a Pulitzer Prize.
