The last several Wonderful Words haven’t been what my vision for Wonderful Words was. So, I’m going back to the original thought – fun, wacky words that tickle the ear.

So, this week’s word is…
CACKLE

During my morning walk, all kinds of interesting birds serenade me – cardinals, Carolina wrens, meadowlarks. My feet tramp on the road to their rhythm.

Then come the crows. They don’t sing sweet songs. They CACKLE. Loud and raucous, almost as if the are taunting me. The word CACKLE sounds like their harsh call.

And the CACKLE as in laugh. We all know someone who CACKLES when the laugh. Not a sweet, tinkling kind of sound. Then again, a person who CACKLES really gets into laughing. They CACKLE and everyone around them laughs.

So go ahead. CACKLE. Laugh uproariously. Get your entire family CACKLING. Don’t be shy about it. CACKLING is the best medicine!
