Best Mispronounce Poems

Twenty-five years 
since we agreed to this and still,
I vow to be there,  
just outside your line of sight,  
as you confidently mispronounce quinoa,
as you decide, again, that the best way 
to check if the pan is hot  
is to touch it....

The Mastermind isn't keen or shy.
Though some have deemed him pretty sly,
His life just keeps on passing by
And in the end, he’s a normal guy.

He speaks good French but he's not from France.
He lives in a dream, dwells in a trance.
His life never quite seems...

Remembering he found this place last Christmas Day

Mispronounce inter-family  relationships   *
And we  bury the family   -  its security slips:
Anti -freeze  divorced  Uncle freeze  at last,
After yesterday’s weather fore-cast, (maybe an aft-cast?)
She married an...

I am not my grammar

My English may be poor

But I am a straight talker, woman of my word

My speech conveys much meaning and wisdom

I do not mispronounce words, I put a St Lucian twist on them

I like to drink, dance and smoke

I love men but...

Why be afraid to admit the truth,
When the truth is all we have?
If when one door closes, another one opens,
why even dare looking back?

The following sentence is false,
The previous sentence is true.
Always accept a challenge,
what do you have to lose?
 
When you love someone so...

FOREVER WINTER

Cookie cutter angel t w i n s in the fluffy dough.
Woolen arms flap, rolling out wings in the snow.

T e n d r i l s of brisk air move about their cheeks.
Ice skate heaven smiles with frozen-r e d peaks.

The crunch of...

Some laws are crazy you will agree.
Read some of these laws and you will see.

Some laws are funny and some just absurd.
It pays to be careful how we use our words.

To keep your ass in a bathtub a fine must be paid.
In 1924 an Arizona...

De bor' ah is her Congo name,
To mispronounce it such a shame,
For few would read and say it right,
I asked: a sweet smile brought to light!
My travels though suggested in,
But butterflies? To trap's a sin! 

'Swahili' countries (1) borders share
With what was Congo, now Zaire,
With...

I ponder
How long will this innocence last.
As I watch him play….take leave
Of our world
And become a dinosaur,
Roar and stomp and laugh
And mispronounce their names.

I watch her pirouette
Turn cartwheels
Dance to a tune only she hears
Tumble to the floor….. laughing.

I struggle to protect them
To shield them from
The...

Love is such an evil word
So easy to mispronounce
As it slips from tongue
Its meaning left to be found
While others take in stride
And think they are truely loved
All so mislead...

We learn to skip before we run,
We learn to crawl before we walk.
We often look before we leap
But rarely think before we talk.
Words are our friends and should be cherished as such,
But too many, it seems, don't seem to care very much.
I have pity on...

Behind the columns, 
Behind the bars
Are many bums
Remembering the dreadful SARS. 
They search for you, 
You ain't aware 
In the best tattoo
But you aren't there, 
In the unspoken f*ck up, 
But you should not be mad
Like a pup
Know it isn't worth been glad 
How crazy...

Children’s names are not common any more,
Parents do not want their children to be plebeians.
I cannot pronounce most of them.
They are unique, like their child - gifted names,
Created by enterprising parents who did not want them to be plain in any way.
I get corrected a...

Isn’t it always 
On tip of his tongue
To mispronounce her love name
To call me

Didn’t want to show how fragile I was
So I kept my cool 
To pretend how strong I am
Though it was agonizing my heart

Heaps ran through my mind
Does my existence mean anything to...
