Orthoepy*


There should be a stroke upon the o
in italics

opine

this kind
of orris , from the wallpaper ,
named
daffodil
o! those yellow flowers
burn my nostrils
orotund musty smell
as I shut the windows flaps-Easterbells clappers from churches are muffled
after the first spring ventilations

we do not know ex-
actly the orthobiosis
as long as we have not tasted
the new fresh air of spring
& heard the lillies
parochial wee bells
question of *pronounciation

Jean-Philippe Guéant
