A writing challenge a didactic verse on the use of homophones written in three quatrains of mixed meter, and clerihew rhyme. Written in 100 words and centered for aesthetic symmetry. Image by me Josehf Lloyd Murchison.

A Writing Challenge A writing challenge Use these words correctly. You’re, Your, & Yore Their, There, & They’re Wear, Where, & We’re Lost in time, in days of yore, your mother dance, a tavern whore. You’re a twit, to this I know, the child of, an ugly hoe. There you sit, in all your grace, a stupid smile, upon your face. Your friends are nice, they’re such fakes, with smiles on, they eat their cake. Where were you, to this I know, we’re a light, shining in the snow. Wearing red, the shade of shame, for in this poem, you are the blame. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison

Thank you, it was a writing challenge and it is a bit of a gnomic poem also.
