Her hunger

        Those words in our lives are so important to many of us.

        • Neville

          yes, they are indeed

        • sylviasearcher

          I think I have this relentless appetite for words...

          • Neville

            it seems you are insatiable, take as many as you like

            • sylviasearcher

              I'm not sure I should say this here in the open but I have this fantasy of a poet writing his words on my body. But then that may be considered a collsborstion of some sort?

              If I delete this will you still get points?

              • Neville

                I doubt it.. nice thought tho

                • sylviasearcher

                  Oh I'll leave it then... Maybe a poet may oblige me one day. I think I'd like a proper fountain pen...

                  Or maybe I could just lend him my lipstick ...

                  • Neville

                    you could lend him mine..

                    • sylviasearcher

                      Your lipstick or fountain pen?

                      • Neville

                        lipstick

                          I like this! My best friend calls me a 'walking talking encyclopedia' and this reminds me of that!

                          • Neville

                            thank you for enjoying these words, Neville
