Here's a humorous fact about moo cows
They moo in an accent from the region they chow
Mind blowing if true
Dug it up just for you
Big guffaws this hilarious tidbit allows!...

Deep Southern accents
    today rarely heard
  except in a handful of words

  But New Yorkers still manage
    to talk so darn fast
  their reputation as windbags
    forever will last...

Ms. Kamala Harris and hubby, on vacation in Paris
  Challenged the natives, "We hope that you'll dare us
To speak French, 'cos we're fluent. You don't scare us" ~ 
  Natives prayed: "Your American accents please spare us."...

Seated across from me at a bar were two large women with accents.
"Cool accents," I said, "Are you ladies from Scotland?"
"It's Wales." one snapped back, "you stupid moron."
"My apologies," I said, "Are you two whales from Scotland?"...

Her abode
Clothed with
Shades of purple
Rustic accents
Books & fairies
Steering
Reflecting
Her souls dance
Lilac so
Her happy hue
Singing to
Her being
Embraced
In violets
&  lilac lace

reading to ourselves

never speaking verse aloud

do we miss the point


Note: I was reminded of this aspect of poetry when my wife recently recited one of her 
favourite poems to me from her school days by Walter De La Mare 'Off the Ground'....

with accents of spring
     come floral drapery -- tossed

      where hyacinths dance
      in velveteen pirouette 
      stems drip __ filling garden's view

England is surely not my homeland,
But their accents and easy going ways,
Makes me want to board a ship,
Set Sail for better days! 

I wonder if they'll see the Queen,
Phillip, Will, George or cute Kate?
Perhaps I too will get the chance,
Oh hurry Ship...Do..Not...Delay!

Cheers!...

Cobblestone streets
In an Old Italian town
Scents of breads and of wine

A sense of tradition
A world of romance
A feeling, I’d like to make mine.

Traveling here
The sun on my back
A village of beauty; pristine.

The wonderful accents
The land of amore
The quaint Italian scene....

Often little thinking allows controlling
Whether reasons hampering question further
Never error over inquiring thoughts
                  Little mistakes cost  



To use words that have accents on 
syllables in the correct places 
totally henders me from writing 
from the soul.....

Good morning, bonjour
is it AU or EU
I've had a undertakers dream
That I cannot tell the difference
Mr Bishop can you give me your Latin leadership
I regret my misunderstandings
French is such a revoir
Tell me the difference between
AI or EI
My progress is transfixed
between the real and sought after...

I met a new day, it had a new smile
It reached out a hand, warm and fertile
It was sculptured by pure genius,
Shinned passionate accents all the while.

Its devotion falls from a mountain height
Its swelled life spills, with such delight
I stole the melodies, it offered,
Thank you so much for the invite....

Silver streaks of zingy songbirds 
and choral trills.

Orioles in Scarlet -
gorgeous carolers of
dawn canzonet with a sapphire score.

Rich viol spells of melodic melody
they engulf my twisted skysill
featuring lavender gold and
honeyed agate spring odes
silky lilac skylight accents....

On the east coast
They will boast tongues
Stress most when pitched.

Each of the town
Will pass down how
Theirs sound in talk.

From New York to
Penn state you will
find new forms said.

Not like those in
Cape Cod being not
Like Maine as same.

They all have flaws
As south drawls and
Not crawls in west....

Authors, artists, and actors attract an audience!
Authors annotate and analyze articles,
Arranging an alphabet accordingly.
An artist accents acrylic asymmetrical aspects,
Always adding attention aimed at an attractive apparatus.
Actors articulate authentic accounts,
Always appealing accurate appearances.
Authors, artists, and actors are alike....

'Tis no collusion in the collision
  or delusion in the decision

But the effusion of elision
  in the intrusion of the incision

Accents the protrusion of provisions
  in the suffusion of supervision 

By which diffusion of division
  in the exclusion of excision --

All goes to show
  the profusion of confusion
    ~ in this here revision!...

her Tijuana hacienda bursts with warm oranges and reds.
pops of vibrant yellows peek from among her rich blooms.
leafy green accents cool down the shiny petals so bright
she is the heart of our neighborhood, a haven of one kind
we greet others on her steps, and sit down to listen and learn
a hacienda that has converted neighbors into very good friends...

frog came in hot off a mountain top
buzzing the clouds; would he ever stop?
so colorful! we exclaimed as he got near.
He was full of vim, vigor, sass, truly no fear.

He matched his plane – red, white and blue
With accents of gold, turquoise, green too.
We had never seen such a frog or plane before.
was he the real deal or straight out of someone’s lore?...
