Listening to my seductive, soft southern drawl,
Has got to be what makes most men crawl,
Down on their knees, oh, they pant and sweat,
Just to see how close to me they can get.
Whispering slow, they don't care what I say,
Words aren't my poison, they're just what I play,
Simply beguiling with a roll of my tongue,
Each syllable falls, like a bee leaves them stung.
Mystical, so magical are the echoing sounds,
Of men that walk by and drop to the ground,
My lips slightly part, and the drawl oozes out,
This is what my hotness is all about.
Author notes
This may not really be what you are looking for, but I thought I'd give it a shot. This is just part of what I love most about me. If it isn't what you are looking for you can disqualify it. I don't mind. My real name is Rebecca, but most call me Becca. AKA Kjack. That name is a long story, but I do have a deep southern drawl kinda like in the movie "Gone with the Wind". I also love my eyes (they are a deep greyish blue, depending what I am wearing and my mood). I am beautiful, and I love me. . Written October 20th, 2004

Interesting... This is kind of what I was looking for... I like the first stanza of this piece... Because it was well written and it made some very good points... I especially like the "Listening to my seductive, soft southern drawl" I think it's nice when we can actually appreciate the way we are or act and say something like "yeah thats the way I roll and I dig it" hahaha but yeah this is a very nice piece... well thanks for the entry and good luck in the contest.

haha very nice, and ain't it true a southern girls drawl can make them boys drool. I myself like a boy to have a good thick down south accent lol.

Hey girl, I got 3rd place, so there goes another bronze to my mantle. Thanks so much for the wonderful comment on this. I do so appreciate your comments. I do have a lot of compliments on my eyes. They aren't like a baby blue or anything, but more like a greyish blue. Thanks again.

Hey there. It's been a while since I heard from you. I haven't had much time online lately with work and everything else going on in my life. It has been quite hectic. My drawl is verrrrrrrrry thick. Thanks so much for your comment. I always appreciate it.

Yeah, I get so tickled when someone asked me that question. Usually when they ask me that one, I lay it on thick for them just to see their reaction. It is so much fun, but then again I love meeting people from different places and cultures. Thanks so much for the comment on this. I appreciate it very much.

Isn't it funny when they say- "Where are you from?"
I love this- so great!! Good luck!

Thanks so much for your wonderful comment on this. I appreciate it more than I can say Richard. I had never heard that story before, so thank you for that too. I will definitely be looking up that one. It sounds so intriguing (sp?). Thanks again for your beautiful comment and applause.

You are so very right on that one. It was a lot more fun to brag about myself than to whine like a baby. I am not one to enjoy pity parties. And I did go out this weekend and strut my stuff. Oh and the good time I had can't even be described. Thanks so much for your great comment on this. I appreciate it more than I can say.

A poem that can't help but bring a smile to the reader's lips. I agree, it is a strange feeling to brag about yourslef - much easier to whine but much less fun. Why not dance around the crawling, drooling, testosterone pumping bodies of men, mocking them with that hot southern drawl?!

I found this to be amusing and beguiling…you know in a captivating enticing way. Especially the way you describe the power of your “drawl”. A well executed line utter by the gracious lips of a southern woman is indeed one of the most captivating sounds on earth. It tears down most men’s defenses, especially those from the northern climes, or the naïve reaches of Southern California. Why i would even wager that Ulysses, you know the story; when he was returning from the abode of the shades, Ulysses revisited the AEaean isle and recounted to Circe his adventures and the wondrous visions and the laws of Hell. She in return speeded his homeward voyage, instructing him particularly how to pass safely by the coast of the Sirens. (1 Odyssey, 12). These nymphs had the power, as has been already said, of charming by their song all who heard them, so that mariners were impelled to cast themselves into the sea to destruction. Circe directed Ulysses to stop the ears of his seamen with wax, so that they should not hear the strain; to have himself bound to the mast, and to enjoin his people, whatever he might say or do, by no means to release him till they should have passed the Sirens' island. Ulysses obeyed these directions. As they approached the Sirens' island, the sea was calm, and over the waters came notes of music so ravishing and attractive that Ulysses struggled to get loose and, by cries and signs to his people, begged to be released; but they, obedient to his previous orders, sprang forward and bound him still faster. They held on their course, and the music grew fainter till it ceased to be heard, when with joy Ulysses gave his companions the signal to unseal their ears; and they relieved him from his bonds..Well i digress, i would wager that those Sirens were from the South as my every encounter with that lovely southern accented speech has nearly always resulted in madness. as in :
” Mystical, so magical are the echoing sounds,
Of men that walk by and drop to the ground,”
…see?, its Ulysses and the Siren’s i tells ya.
Lovely poem Blessings and best wishes, ~richard

Yeah, where I live is pretty much the same way. My home is 10 miles out of town. It is nothing to wake up to cows in the yard, or have to get up in the middle of the night to get the horses back in the pasture. There are cotton fields everywhere down here. Not to mention corn(but the corn wasn't very good this year). It was a bad year for corn. My dad has over 60 acres of land, and bails hay on it. People need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to my sister in laws house since there is no road going to it, but I don't think I could ever call any other place home.

I live in Arkansas.
I love it! I was talking to my boyfriend a few days ago and I was really tired but also excited to talk to him, anyway - apparently I was talking extremely hickish because he said something like "You sure are talking country tonight" I asked him if that was bad and he said "Nope, I like it, it's extra sexy" So guys do like it, you're right. Soft and deep does make sense- Instead of sounding like a little girl (highpitched like me) you sound like a woman! Good for you, haha. Nice talkin with ya!

My voice isn't really girly, it is soft and deep(if that makes any sense at all), but I am beginning to like my accent after all of these years. I lived in south Louisiana for a long time and was called the Redneck(actually the first part of it was in French and I can't spell it--I think it was a profane word). My friends called me that because of the way I talk and my phrases. Yes, I am hick city. Where in the south are you? Thanks again for the wonderful comment on this.

Thanks so much for the wonderful comment on this. I appreciate it. Good luck with the judging. I have checked out several of the other entries, and they are all wonderful. It will be a hard choice to make.

Yeah, and I have always wanted to live anywhere but where I live. But this is my home, and always will be whether I like it or not. I think I may be getting used to my accent. I also enjoy listening to the way other people talk, it is so incredible how an area can influence a dialect and sound. Thanks again for the wonderful applause and comment. I appreciate them both.

This is such a cute thing to write about. I loved it! My voice gets to guys sometimes too. I dunno if it's because of my southern accent or if its because I have a really soft, kinda high-pitched, sweet voice - or so I've been told. I think it's annoying and girlie sounding. like I'm a 4 year-old girl with a big vocabulary. Anyway, back to your poem. You did a really good job. I never would have thought of it!

ah the southern bell, and msut i say, the flow to this was excellent, the structure suburb, and i am going to ahve a hard time choosing my winners for this contest. and yes, it is weird to brag aboiut your self, but there is always something we like aobut ourselves.

I love this poem! I have ALWAYS wished I was born in the south so I could have that beautiful accent. I'm from California...I'm a valley girl, and I hate our accents, but your kinda can't help it...anyways. This was awesome, I absolutely love this!

Yeah, most of us have something we are self-conscious about. And let me tell you, I'd take a "hick" lady over a self-centered "worldwise" type any day. My wife is from a town so small it only has a post-office not even as big as a one bedroom house, and a little country store. The guy who lives next to them has hunting dogs in a pen. One side of the street leading to her house is a cornfield. You can still leave your door unlocked and not really have to worry. So what about the accent? You are what you are.
-
This was, of course, a slight exaggeration. I do appreciate the compliment(smiles big). I do have a very thick southern drawl that sometimes embarrasses me at how much of a hick I really am, especially when I am out at some kind of fancy restaurant out of town. For the most part though, I am proud of my accent, and I do try to carry myself well. Thanks again for the beautiful compliment. I appreciate it. And thanks for the wonderful comment on the poem.

Hmmn...being a man I would guess that your hotness is not just your southern drawl but that in conjunction with something else about your appearance and/or the way you carry yourself. There is some chemistry there that I can't comment on since I can't see you, although in your picture you are attractive. I can see 'em now, crawling towards you with tongues dragging the ground.
