Write It Right

Wright, write right Real men eschew fright In this place, wrongs are right Traditional rites in daylight? Expose how that day turned night In that pen there is might Take a step with great delight Right things be written right Include that supernatural flight Get thy vision shinning bright Heave up thy humdrum sight Think deep and be a knight

I love your poem! It not only toys with words with similar sounds, it also has the feel of a poem that should be heard on stage!

I see you have some homophones going on here! Adeniji. I can't open my soupmail to see what you wrote me. HOpe to see it soon. I love your last line here : to think deep and be a knight. We all want to see more knights in shining armor!
