Intrigued By Words Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

I'm intrigued by words
Not much 'bout they way they're spelt
Bu' rather facinated by how they sound
The intonation an' the rhythm produced

I'm intrigued by accents
Same word different sounds
I'm facinated by different voice chords
Accentuations an' parentheses

I'm intrigued by rhymes
The melody, the staccato
I'm facinated by the easy flow of thought
That wordsmiths 're pure geniuses
