Dear Readers,
Now that it's winter break, I have a lot more time on my hands to look out the window and write a lot of poetry, and I hope you do the same. I was recently thinking about my fascination for different accents (in people's voices); I found that the two words that intrigue me the most in how they are pronounced in various parts of the world are "proper" and "peculiar". Here is the poem I wrote about this topic:
Proper & Peculiar
Two Sisters
In the most extraordinary way
Which is which?
Who am I?
Only time will tell,
But I think I'm the one
That starts with a "p" and ends with "r"—
This paper / the prisoner / prettier & pettier
I really like how the last two lines create a sort of mystery.
I hope you enjoyed reading it!
