The Ten Most Beautiful Words
by Ralph Fletcher
I saw a list of the ten
most beautiful words
in the English language:
dawn, hush, mist, lullaby,
tranquil, luminous, chimes,
golden, melody, murmuring.
I liked them all, the sound of them,
especially murmuring.
It made me picture
ripples
shuddering
across still water.
And now I’ve got
ten shiny new coins
jingling in my pocket.

And filling our pockets with them as well!
Just lovely, Ralph! xx
I love the words you chose as the ten most beautiful, and carrying them in our pockets is the perfect image. Thank you.
Inspired by your NCTE session, Amy!
