According to the Second College Edition Websters New World Dictionary of the American Language, the word Frisson means A shudder or shiver, as of
excitement, fear, or pleasure. Theres nothing quite like that feeling caused by a song, story, or poem. Remember sitting around a campfire out in the woods and swapping ghost stories when you were a
kid? Remember how the goose pimples walked across your arms as you shivered in fear and delight at the stories? Can you create that kind of atmosphere in a poem? |
