New York Accent

Been in New York when I was young!
This accent is so innate in my clever well tongue.
You don’t understand how I say things,
Guess you’re a stupid one who just so love to sing…
Stab me behind my back!
Just doing the same in my own rack…
Forgive me for being so unique.
Can you just copy my same proud technique!?
This New York accent is a highly wow!
Bad as you are like a filthy mad cow…
By the way, you’re such an ugly petty Betty!
You’re a downer who usually makes me so messy!

Premium Member Mom's French Accent

The delicious odor of home-baked bread
instantly takes me to mum's kitchen door,
I'm in heaven, though not a word is said.
Kneading the dough, she'd punch it down once more, 
calling for three risings, she'd give it four.

I can never resist that fresh-baked smell,
just one whiff and once more, I'm a small boy,
there's no smell like it; I could always tell.
It's forever linked to a time of joy,
a nostalgic quirk, memories employ.

The instant its unique aromas waft
up my nostrils, with that heavenly scent, 
I envision my mum's hugs, firm yet soft.
Going to the bakery's an event
that brings back flashes of mom's French accent.

Premium Member McDougal's Irish Accent

McDugal, the Leprechaun is a gent
Mick's wife always says he was Heaven sent
He shows respect to women
In their praises he's swimmin'
They love hearin' his Irish brogue accent

The Lead Accent

Ways of painters are ones with pen men
Careful drops born meaningful fortes
Those ones I cherish in them
Rhymesters and verse breeds
Awesome as daylight
Their muse their right
They conceive
Hatch in

That Accent

THAT ACCENT.. 

Your accent gets me.. it drives me wild! 
accentuates your sexy wicked style

I love the way u say the things u say
DAM I could listen to it all night & all day! 

Perhaps because I'm American our accents so mundane 
yours is so SEXY my hormones go insane! 

That voice can go on for hours never stop
once you open your mouth my panties wanna drop! 

I wanna hear you scream my name in your tone to the ceiling
hands all over one another lustful chemistry we both feeling 

doesn't even matter what you say don't care about the content
so heavenly a dialect angel has been sent! 

if I say no just turn to me and speak with that accent it's the best! 
won't be long before I change my mind and no turns into Y-E-S!! 

Don't need no wine, music, or fancy food
the sound of your enticing voice gets me in a naughty mood! 

I dig it when your lips are moving
I find it both erotic & so soothing

I want to hear it 24/7 that means all day
that's all I need to we'll call it vocal foreplay!

Southern Accent

Southern Accent

People in the South their lives have spent,
So they can speak with a Southern accent;
Found in food,
And a family feud;
When they died to heaven with them went.

An Accent

To the pond behind my yard
I saw strolling a frog and a toad
They were there on that rainy day to breed
But the two soon began chatting their creed

Said the frog: “You a Bufonidae
You disturb my peace with your croak” 
Protested the toad: “You a rascal Ranidae
You scare me to my death with your squeak”

Friendly chatting now turned to a dispute
They leapt across belittling each other
And there crept the water snake, moving softly
Swallowed the frog, proceeding next to the toad!

Premium Member The Pull of Passion

Attracted to his accent and his lean physique,
he followed her home when they met on that street.
She didn't know his name but it didn't really matter.
Those large brown eyes couldn't look any sadder.
He spoke in short calculated phrases.
Their warm bodies meshed in the dance of the ages..
There are times when words aren't really needed when the
pull of passion is so heated..

Accent On Beverages

In France, although it’s nice and warm,
there isn’t any fun.
The only way to spend your time,
is sitting on your bum.

The villas there are very scarce
they haven’t many shops.
You have to travel many miles,
through fields of naught but crops.

With wine caverns abundant,
that’s the way the French have fun.
They’ve found a way to elevate,
just sitting on their bum.

So now I know the reason,
why their accent is so deep.
With wine they soften vocal chords,
each night before they sleep.

But English accents are quite crisp,
it’s from ‘stiff upper lip’.
That’s hardened by the constant slurp,
of all the tea they sip.

No wonder French and English,
seem to get along just swell.
They both spend all day drinking,
though they use a different well!

Premium Member Vanilla Accent

Some flowers smell like memories of home,
Lily-of-the-valley is one of those.
It's like what color is, to monochrome,
sweeter than the spicy scent of a rose.

It has an aromatic purity,
vanilla, with hints of lemon and spice.
This lily blossoms in obscurity:
sprouting, as soon as Spring melts, snow and ice.

Lily-of-the-valley works its magic,
thethered to home and memories of Mum.
It is not well known, and that's so tragic,
for one sniff will convince you to plant some.

I can't imagine a sweeter Spring scent
than lilies, with a vanilla accent.

Premium Member Frenchie

she was a true beauty
with elegance and grace
charmed and oozed personality
forever wore a smile on her face

her accent quite delightful
her manners perfectly fine
her skintone might have been a touch frightful
but her demeanour was always divine

Accent

No accent comes with an ace 
Or perfect words' tones at place
It doesn't assume a good act
Or speech determining lie or fact
Does it make one wise like ants?
Growing impact in their solemn chants

Within the sounds; clear twist, breaths fan
Bad difference with apt touches, do ban 
Yet, good ears see purely hints like cat
Stressing out the orthoepy to combat
Meanwhile, same is tasty food all eat
Packaging only brings to some extra treat

Though, misquotation may set in a net
The selected few are still in the same set
From background check of environs tan
To the informal training by your clan
Which everyday gives as breakfast tea
Its lunch and dinner then turned you- devotee

Till time grows years into an adaptive ten
Hold not those for you who see it a den 
More or less a disease: black-like-acne
Load enough enlightenment into your hackney
With which you hit ideas unalloyed cane
That laughter gets foes entertain

Accent doesn't make your talk(s) a cant
When words contained are well implant
Forget thoughts; value the worth beyond a cent
Fight not to cement points; pour content
Matters how the breaths voice words discreetly  
Than how fluent the flow caress ears sweetly

Commune words of sound fairly much good interacted 
Other diacritics are same; above is none ever enacted

Premium Member A Small Word Can Make Things Different

An accent can change a whole statement
A comma can alter the whole meaning
A small word can make things different
And a smile can enhance sightseeing.

An apostrophe can emphasize the beauty
Of a place, a noun, a country or a city
An atom can destroy our world, nothing
Is too teensy to destroy a life or a building.

The titanic ship was never too big to sink
These days, very few of us are able to think
People elect some leaders for the wrong reason
Leave me alone. Pay, pay, and enjoy your pain.

A small vowel can make a humongous difference
No word is too small, too petite, and too innocent
Dot the i; cross the t. Please use your common sense
An accent can naturally change a whole statement.

Premium Member this waiter is using an Italian accent at our table, and a Cockney one with members of staff

what's the game? 
have i mentioned this before?
a local Italian set-up somewhere in the capital
with sable decor and steaks 

is this marketing at its grandest?
polytechnic stuff
the way he pronounces ravioli 
is superb

passing him by the bathrooms,
he's gone all cockney with the kitchen chefs
what a performance
this is 

my mate Gaz knows how symbolism works 
his astrological memoir drops in july 
he's going on tour and i call him to say,
"bring it down."

on the way out, i yell 'bravo'
