A Prints, His Taught Genes, and a Fare Made

A prints among men

With bulging mussels

Sow vein and vial he

Sew it would seam…

 

He sailed to see for wails

His genes too taught

And soared strapped hire

Twas a write of passage…

 

For daze and daze no whirred

Of thrown or king or wore

Though he rote letters grate

Only the sent of time and wry…

 

Above the serging serf

Saw he the farest made

Who gave him forty wax

As she suede sighed-to-sighed…

 

Now here slay bells wring

And reed the notice deer

Drink deep the read whine

Prints and made merried hence!

 

Author's Note

Homonyms (sometimes called homophones) are those troubling words that sound alike but have different meanings… How many can you find? Hmmmmmmmmm? Have fun!

Craig, I love it! You are so incredibly clever. I would not be able to do this, I even tried after I read it - no way, no how - I simply cannot get my brain to think like that.

With every piece that I read of yours I am always amazed at the high standard and the beauty of your prose but this has got to be my favorite yet. Thank you so much for sharing.

(Homonyms are also troubling to kids trying to learn how to spell. We've had test after spelling test with homonyms. Oy.)
Very clever and fun piece. The theme of the poem works really well with the use of the homonyms.

Oh my LORD! This was amazing! Next to "Phantasmagoria" by Lewis Carroll, I've never read a poem that made me smile and laugh any more than this one! XD You are a brilliant man, with a good sense of humor too! I might have to print this off and keep it with me, for whenever I need a good-hearted laugh!
Thank you so much for writing this!

This is genius, to juggle words is very hard with accustomed meaning in every meaning.

[Siddhartha]

Well I am accustomed now for those little great surprises from you every now and then...Your creativity is one of its kind... And you always weave magic with your words..And if the words sound alike then all the better....:)

*smile* You do get an A for creativity. And since English is not my native language, this was quite a lesson, too. Thank you, it was fun.
