words really are just delightful

You know how there are just certain words that just roll off the tongue?
It's not what they mean, but how they sound?

The letters just combine in a pleasing and unique way and you just love the word even if it's a stupid one that doesn't really mean anything important...

Well, in this contest the prompt is rather simple.

You ask me for a word, I'll give you one that I've always liked because of how it sounded. Whatever comes of it, comes of it. It can be inspired by how the word sounds, what it reminds you of, or even just taken literally for what it is. I don't care. You can ask for as many words as you like, and if you don't like a word, just use another. Entries limited to five, but you can use more than one to help inspire you. Sometimes word clusters can inspire people better than just a single word.

My only rule is that you must title your poem with the word I give you in some way. It could simply be the word, or just thrown in there with a handful of other words. If you use multiple words you only have to include one of the words, but try to include them all for fun.

Thank you and good luck, points may increase.
