A power word ignites the imagination - yours, the readers, editors, fans and yes, critics. Many of these words are basic, nothing fancy, yet have a magnetic pull. They reach out and take hold. You can turn these basics into metaphors. Some become verbs, adjectives. They take hold and pull a reader into what you have to say. your piece. A metaphor is a different use for a word: i.e. cotton balls for clouds, ocean waves gush, complaining is a bellyache.
