A to Z Challenge: Eloquent

Day number 5 of the A to Z challenge. For those of you in the challenge and those of you who are not, How are you doing today?

Eloquent sounds so fancy and elegant, doesn't it? That is why I have chosen it for the letter E.  

Vivid, moving, and convincing expression is one part of the definition of eloquent. I guess that could be elegant.  To be eloquent is to be forcefully expressive in actions and gestures and to be skilled in fluent and appropriate speech. Sometimes I am eloquent when I speak. But I am especially eloquent in my expressions. I talk with my hands, my sneezes are loud, and I am just plain animated at times.  Oh so be it.  I am just being eloquent.


"They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper."
--Cicero, The Orator
