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!
