As doors go, this is a much prettier door than a cellar door.
After I wrote my poem, forgottenman apprised me of the significance of “cellar door“—that being that many consider it to be one of the most beautiful phrases in the English language, apart from its meaning. Since I had already written my poem using “cellar door” in its literal sense, I published my first post anyway but now feel compelled to rebut it as one of the most beautiful phrases (or words) in the English language and to suggest a few more. Propinquity is one, although I still have to look it up every time I hear it. Ascendency is another, as is onomatopoeia–but that is too obvious a choice. Parsimonious or terrarium. Gondola. Pandemonium. Okay. It’s getting late and let’s face it. There are lots of beautiful words in the English language, and in my estimation, cellar door isn’t even in the running.
The Daily Inkling Prompt today is cellar door.
