Wordplay #6  Fain

Fain > happily: with gladness or eagerness
willing or eager to do something
compelled: forced by an obligation or circumstance to do something.

Her obvious relish in playing with words
could be seen as fain, although some might
say her single-minded focus to begin
was grievous sin, insane, because they
have no real desire to do the same.

    Elizabeth, I love what you did with this word. I am writing a Mother’s day poem and I would like to borrow a few of your six day words, to add to my piece, if you don’t mind. A wordle of sorts 🙂
