Emma's Word of the day

Well my first "Emma's Word of the Day" was popular, indeed it was chosen as a Top Story (thanks Vocal!), so I'm back with July's words.

From Factotum to Obsequies with Iridescent and Glimmer in the middle, you are sure to find a word you love.

I am presenting this here in poets in the hope that one of my words may provide you the inspiration you need. Words, after all, are what poets use to create their art, so the more words you know the better. Well, that's what I think anyway. I hope some of you agree.

I try to do my word of the day daily, but sometimes life happens, so these posts will present what I managed to do in the previous month. This is my second time doing this here, I hope you enjoy them.

I present to you my July 2021 words of the day.

(Please note I use Australian spelling as I am Australian.)
