She were grace itseln,
un mi ol heart skipped a beat...
bronze, be her body,
un a reet dazzlin sheen...
At any price, aah noo,
aah ad t’mek her all mine,
un aah fondled her,
only reet gen’le, mind.
Aah mounted her, neece un slow...
her were made fer mi, she wuz;
if aah cood boot ring her bell
aah cood be her own troo luv.
Aah felt her therr, beneath mi,
she were jus the way aah like,
poetry in motion – her un mi,
as off aah rode on mi bran noo bike.

Good on you for tackling this and making it work, Tina. Also liked the ending but I thought it was West country with a bit of Yorkshire thrown in....

I think you hit the nail, right on the head, Coral;-)

Hi Tina,
I know you never put this under humour, but I have
to admit having a right good giggle, my son wanted
to know what I was laughing about.
This IP is turning out to be one of the best, as
far as I'm concerned. A brilliant piece Tina.
Jenny.

Hi again Tina,
hope you weren't offended by my comment, it was
meant in a good way.
Jenny.

Awesome! This poem helped me to realise just how un-British I am ;-p honestly, I had no idea what accent this is until I read the comments ;-D Very much enjoyed. Well done!

This is 'reet good.' Congrats too on cherry.

At first I thought Yorkshire but then realised I was a bit too far south - always amazes me how much variation of accent and dialect we have in such a small country. Very much enjoyed this Tina and didn't spot the end til the end. :-)

I guessed at an english dialect. I thought it was dandy Tina. really well done. First I thought that the object was poetry in motion and then a horse but it turned out to be a bike. Fantastically (word?) well done.

Thanks, OTT. Reet glad you thought so;-)

Glad you enjoyed, fb. I spent a lot of time with a mining family in Durham, as a child. Their accent fascinated me, and also the distinct difference in dialect of one of my 'uncles' who came from Newcastle. The UK has a wealth of wonderful accents, and long may they all continue to thrive;-)
Many thanks for reading.
