poem written October 4th, 2019: Words spelled correct versus phonetic spelling
Wɜrdz spɛld kəˈrɛkt ˈvɜrsəs
fəˈnɛtɪkˈspɛlɪŋ
alternately titled fun with
phonics ˈɔltərnətli ˈtaɪtəld fʌn wɪð ˈfɑnɪks
analogous when like first learning
how to spell American English words
Əˈnæləgəs wɛn laɪk fɜrst
ˈlɜrnɪŋ haʊ tu spɛl əˈmɛrəkən ˈɪŋglɪʃ wɜrdz
I thought to feign not
knowing how to spell American English words
Aɪ θɔt tu feɪn nɑt ˈnoʊɪŋ
haʊ tu spɛl əˈmɛrəkən ˈɪŋglɪʃ wɜrdz
and quickly realized the daunting task,
Ænd ˈkwɪkli ˈriəˌlaɪzd ðə ˈdɔntɪŋ tæsk,
thus sought magnanimity, gratuity, courtesy...
Google search (phonetic transcription of words) to assist me
Ðʌs sɔt magnanimity, grəˈtuɪti,ˈkɜrtəsi..

wɜrdz) tu əˈsɪst mi
Words spelled correct versus phonetic spelling
(the latter appended after poem concludes).
Thus now begins feeble attempt
to render rhyme for no reason
appended with phonetic translation
mainly as playful tease zen
synonymous imagining teaching
said exercise to eager children
reminding readers that young
and restless with spotty attention
hear spoken word while in utero,
post natal, subsequently when
he/she parrots parent(s) and/or
guardian, a more deliberate yen
arises to acquire greater cognition,
intuition, question (quest ja hen)
quickly devolving into faux ken
barbed riotous laughter analogous
trying wits of patient comedian/
comedienne resorting quite often
to repetition, remonstration,
reiteration... which frustration
might necessitate taking ten,
or so minutes of intermission
mindful mentor praises pen
ultimate verbal adroit ability
earning healthy treat for recitation,
perhaps recipient exceptionally
eager to advance passing golden
milestone able, ready, and will len
to tackle writing correct spelling,
whence learning to hold pen(cil)
(without being vain) begin men
till process, which next step den
allows, enables and provides sen
sit heave hands on guidance
helping preschooler - all liven
and well with enthusiasm clutch
writing implement fingers open
before gently grasping above ren
during kudos with an amen.
