Homographs

sorenbarrett

Tear does absent address
duck dove quail
dear rose accent analyses
buck clove scale

Wind wound inclined regress
bark bay bow
pined pound kind redress
park gay go

Bar absent ass fly 
yard foot inch
drawer accent gas lie 
hard rout pitch

    You have used your poetic licence on this one I love your play on words dear sorrenbarret a superb and very unique piece.🌹

    • sorenbarrett

      Every once in a while like a hair across the eye a thought occurs and one has to brush it away. How many times I have been deceived by homographs while reading why not just make use of them in a type of patterned collage poem. Thanks so much for the read my friend

      • Teddy.15

        lol brilliant. 🤣

        Most intriguing and I like very much .. a pondersome poem for more in-depth consideration later methinks .. well me knows actually .. Neville

          Thanks Neville when the sound of rhyme becomes paramount to the meaning of words in some way it may be considered a parody. Ambiguous meaning adds meaning and coincidental patterns create conspiracy theories. Not to say that there aren't real patterns or conspiracies.

          Such a delightful labyrinthine poem, highlighting the dualities of our language! Almost like decoding a message as well.

          • sorenbarrett

            Thanks Cryptic a different thought sometimes we focus on meter, sometimes meaning, but what of simply rhyme meter and double meaning all combined?

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            This, my friend, is the challenge with homographs, brilliantly put into poetic form. Well done! 🌹👏 Absolutely loved this! So unique and original, Soren!

                      I had to look up homographs - a new word for me

                      Intriguing, but I did find alliteration and rhyme and also groupings of words. There is probably much I have missed sorenbarrett. I am hopeless at cryptic stuff:)

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Thanks Cassie for the read and comment. Confusion but meter and rhyme scheme is still constant. Have a great day.
