A pair of words to consider

It's been almost 3 weeks since I posted anything, and it's time. The words I've chosen to describe are INGENUOUS and DISINGENUOUS. I feel they're somewhat confusing and opposite to what a person logically would assume they mean. INGENUOUS ( not to be confused with INGENIOUS) means frank and open and somewhat naive, whereas DISINGENUOUS means lacking in candor or sincerity. Let's see if I can come up with a clarifying sentence:

Being ingenuous, I was a perfect patsy for the sneakiness of my disingenuous friend.

Readers/commenters are encouraged to come up with other sentences with these useful words.

ENIGMA

I realize that Derek didn't issue invitations to a poetry contest, but, as you'll soon see, I've truly been inspired:

Enigma by Gr. Barb
--------------------

How do you separate Poetry from
Prose?

May as well try to separate Gr. Barb from

cookies (and bars and pies and ice cream and pizza).

word to the wise and/or not so wise from the latter

LUCIFACTION: vivid coinage from Marilynne Robinson's novel Housekeeping; suggests the coruscating* reflections of light on a body of water: "Set apart from the drifts and tides and LUCIFACTIONS of the open water, the surface of the bay seemed almost viscous...."

*CORUSCATING: emitting vivid flashes of light; sparkling, scintillating, gleaming.

Note from submitter Gr. Barb: I couldn't find LUCIFACTION in any of my dictionaries, but the internet came through. Next time you're on or in view of a body of water - other than the kitchen sink or bathtub - be sure to check out the LUCIFACTION, okay?
