Accents

Marks on my thoughts,
accents of introspection;
 
Acute I find my observation.
Grave deep the world;
circumflexion breeds my circumspection.
 
Still my heart, cedilla soft....

I was thinking about how punctuation, especially 'accents' affect the way we perceive words.

It struck me that we place 'accents' on our thoughts influencing our attitudes and how we feel.

Circumflex is the ^ over a letter to denote something 'taken away' or to discern the difference in meaning between otherwise identical looking words...

Grave and acute are also 'accents' used in French etc

The cedilla softens the 'c'
