Word List: Science

Today's short 'n sweet prompt is a word list! I've always found word lists to be incredibly helpful, so I'm excited to feature another one on this blog. Our first word list prompt featured our favorite Floodmarkian (we're making it an adjective. Deal with it) words, and we decided it was time to give word lists another try. What's the theme this time? Science!

Yes, science. While scientific words aren't always considered to be beautiful, a lot of them actually are. If you've ever read Jeffrey McDaniel's "The Wild Cousin of Potpourri," you already know that using anatomical words in poetry can actually be brilliantly sensual, instead of scientifically stiff.
