the 11 of 12 given words:
impact accent breath captive power love
vanguard (the forefront of an action or movement)
glancing journey moon scent
the impact of the discovery was telling
it was more of a long lingering drawl
they had a peculiar accent of speaking
breathed out of a warmth lying sprawled
with power more pronounced than love
that can take ordinarily in usual talk
but caresses eagerly sought to move
sweet nothings whispered to the dot
is it not the way of stealing the heart
to be a likely defense of maneuvering
for it can measure up as a vanguard
against a hiccup of ideas gone missing
it is good glancing over the shoulder
every so often as a respite to draw out
some brilliant moves coy to a young lover
such is the journey of survival to be bought
the situation belies a good talker to adore
rather than implore his presence pleading
to moonwalk and offer the scent of pleasure
a knight of armour transformed for a Queen

ReplyDeleteSome accents and voices are so seductive, they are all that’s needed, Hank. You captured that perfectly in the lines:
ReplyDelete‘with power more pronounced than love
that can take ordinarily in usual talk
but caresses eagerly sought to move
sweet nothings whispered to the dot’.
A very nice take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteWords spoken with the right accent can light up every christmas light in the brain ready to blow a circuit!
The voice and talking can be the best... and a good listener even more.
