(HOMONYMS: Homophones & Homographs)

He'll heal his heel.
They sow so they sew.
His aide aid with an ade.
You saw a ewe eat a yew.
I ate on the ait eight times.
The fare at the fair was fair.
He sees the seas...

Premium Member Clown At the Abyss
“Nobody likes a clown at midnight.”       Stephen King


CLOWN AT THE ABYSS


Darkroom abscessed 
with neon blush and black-blood —
sunken eyes look surprised
to find oneself in a dank dungeon.
Fecal stench, not humorous,
screams on each bold painted-on face.

“Are we dead?”

“When did I...

Premium Member What Nunsense
painted in black from head to foot
like a mourner
why not a veil and snowy white
showy wedding gown
after all, nunsense knows
that we are the bride of Christ
while we are at it let’s glue
some angel’s wings and halo
to our ensemble
and heigh ho purchase
a white horse of course

Premium Member Darkness Taken for Granted
brighter afternoon
after the solar eclipse
four eyes put away
as couples are high-fiving
emphasizing  photographs

heigh-ho back to screen
first to post solar eclipse
along with the throngs
lucky strike of sunshine gold
its older than the black hills

the sun soon will set
but will all appreciate
the normal darkness?
sunset taken for granted
without retinopathy

Crows
The Carrion Crow

Crows abound in the 
neighborhood and around the 
yard. Often in early morning a 
great, noisy caw-fest occurs. 

A carrion crow
sat on an oak, fol de rid-
dle, lol de riddle…

Only tiny oaks sprout here and 
there, as planted by industrious 
blue jays. Crows sit...

The Futuristic Christmas
No more suprises now christmas holds,
As day by day I’m growing old.
This I wish to confess,
Now christmas makes me pretty depressed.
I was fond of natural yule tree,
But now my grandchildren pick it from online for discount or free.
Within a seconds the remote control automatically decorates,
I...

Pirate Tale
To the ship they row
Pirates Pete and Bo
Sea prowess to show
Sailing!

Argh! They proudly crow
Greeting all they know
With a 'Yo-ho-ho'
Hailing!

Sea terrors, heigh-ho!
Stolen treasures stow
Overboard men throw
Quailing!

Storm winds fiercely blow
Apprehensions grow
Enemy adds woe
Trailing...

Formidable foe
Tragic overthrow
Sad, their ship's death-throe
Failing!

Sloshing to and fro
Amid undertow
Down and down they go
Flailing!

Out the...

Premium Member Snow White and the Seven Pronouns
When I was a kid we watched with hearts aglow
and Snow White’s skin was ever white as snow.
  But all bossy and meaner
  Snow White is now Latina
and heigh-ho heigh-ho it’s off to smirk they go!

Well the folks at Disney have changed it...

Nature Ho Ho Ho Don Quixote Lance
With a,
Heigh Ho,
Heigh Ho,
Heigh Ho

In defense of nature we go

Like Night's on Crusade

But i fear we will need

More than seven dwarfs

Unless they are standing on the shoulder of giants

And holding Don Quixote lance

Because we are up against

Our mortal enemy

Hephaestus...

Heart Healing Herbal
Hail I will a heart centered healing that can heat
Head, heart and hands and that’s why I heartily rhyme;
Heart it heals like holy herbal; he heartily does tweet,
He – nature’s hero, hails in his rhyme her heart, prime.

Hence, here, I hire his heroic healing writing
Heigh,...

Only One Way
Ah, God, the way your little finger moved 
As you thrust a bare arm backward 
And made play with your hair 
And a comb a silly gilt comb 
Ah, God—that I should suffer 
Because of the way a little finger moved.
  
Dear, I to...

Premium Member Love Will Triumph
It took me time to embellish 
myself
And long to reach you!

And there I stand confronting 
you and lionise,
Behaving uncontrived and 
candid!

And now you waste golden 
moments talking to my better 
half,
Bereft me and become 
nonpareil!

Your fairer half still sits staid,
Not inveighing our inexorable 
closeness!

Do not...

Mirror mirror on the wall she wants me so
but I am little and she is white as snow.
  In this tale of small things
  Horny the 8th dwarf sings
heigh-ho heigh-ho it’s off to twerk we go!

Pain and Gain
While walking alone

Tears were blown

I can't resist

The pain I felt

My mind, say-so

Cry heigh-ho

And after this

The best of bliss.....
