Today’s word, glisk, is a beautiful one–to me, at least. It means glance, glimpse, gleam, sparkle, brief moment, trace, touch, resemblance, similarity.
What I find so beautiful about it is the sound. It starts off soft, then finishes on a hard k. Almost as if it mimics the sound of a sparkle (okay, the sound sparkles make in my head).
Here’s my response to the prompt (taken from Running The Asset):
Adam swypit the herr awa fae Elle?s foreheid an fir a glisk he mulled the smuith huil there. ?A hae twa reules at A nivver brak,? he cowpit hir face oop tae heez an he preed hir lips, ?an A?m i dainger o brakin thaim wi ye.?
And now in English.
Adam swept the hair away from Elle?s forehead and for a brief moment he kissed the smooth skin there. ?I have two rules that I never break,? he tilted her face up to his and tasted her lips, ?and I?m in danger of breaking them both with you.?
