Here's another one I've always loved, the Dialectizer. You can take one of your poems and change it well, look:
An Original Angie Poem (w/ a little help from Eve & darkmass)
I watched us flicker then ignite
as if the moon fell from the sky
into our arms, held like a new born
love full of squall and need, bright
with loony hope. We bloomed that day.
Time unfolded flowers, petal palms
cupped warmth, but growing heavy
with the reign of deeds and hours
drooped to a drowse of afternoon,
curled wiser at the edge of gloom
with no less love, but gardens full
of knowing, fell beneath twilight,
where she fades like sun, dimmer.
The Same Poem in Redneck
ah watched us flicker then ignite as eff'n th' moon fell fum th' sky into our arms, held like a noo born an' raised love full of squall an' need, bright wif loony hope. We bloomed thet day. Time unfolded flowers, petal palms cupped warmth, but growin' heavy wif th' reign of deeds an' hours drooped t'a drowse of af'ernoon, curled wizzu at th' edge of gloom wif no less love, but gardens full of knowin', fell beneath twilight, whar she fades like sun, dimmer.
The Same Poem in Elmer Fudd-Speak
I watched us fwickew then ignite as if the moon feww fwom the sky into ouw awms, hewd wike a new bown wove fuww of sqwaww and need, bwight wif woony hope. We bwoomed that day. Time unfowded fwowews, petaw pawms cupped wawmth, but gwowing heavy wif the weign of deeds and houws dwooped to a dwowse of aftewnoon, cuwwed wisew at the edge of gwoom wif no wess wove, but gawdens fuww of knowing, feww beneaf twiwight, whewe she fades wike sun, dimmew.

If you really sound like that, I am going to need a translator when we come to NC lol. Otoh, they didn't have a Sopranos option on there so you could hear how it would sound in my native language.

Okay, Sis, I took your dialectizer and turned a poem I wrote for you and ee into Cockney-
No Need For Wings
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.- Frost
There is no equal ter the view from atop a cooperative tree
wen no geezer but yer can spot wot lies
beyond the gentle slope of us own misleadin' 'orizon.
Evry uncomfortable truff ever told
becomes understood by trustin'
one's life ter one branch of an ancient oak tree
that 'as 'eld wee more than birdsong and breeze.
The bloomin' oak 'as wevvered more violent storms
than assault upon 'er limbs by me.
She groans wiv the wind but never complains
and I wish I 'ad 'er character her strengff and mobility.

Why do I get the impression that this is an American's idea of a Cockney accent?
I think most of us base our impressions on Alfie and My Fair Lady. At least the older among us.Although I always heard that Michael Caine's Cockney in Alfie was the real thing as he grew up hearing it. What do you think?
Not insulted at all but have just been informed that's it's a bit iffy to call Michael Caine a true Cockney i.e born within the sound of Bow Bells although with a prevailing wind it could have been possible! But Ron insists he is true Cockney although having been bombed out during the war he didn't grow up in London and hasn't got the accent. Just to confuse you more not all Londoners are Cockneys! Oh and the girl who played Eliza was born in Belgium!
