Each night I told you, “Dinner is served sharply at eight.”
But it was my heart on which you dined, that you ate.
I was never first, was never your number one,
just another bedpost notch, a trophy you won.
In your eyes there was no depth, nothing to see,
no crashing waves of passion for me to drown in at sea.
Still loving your fire, the crackle and flame burning me sore,
whilst cradling the match in which sparks of your love I'm sure that I saw.
Because one is too few for you who needs lovers two
that make three, perhaps four; the only way you get to
a hallucination of love. You who gets bored of things new…
when deep down inside, I’m right – this, you always knew.

The other day I got a flyer
Because I am a frequent flier
And, as you have already guessed
It said I was an 'honoured guest'
In fact, the 'most important one'
And a 'special prize' I had won
I gasped out loud, my breath did bate
And of course, I took the bait
Must be a diamond! (at least a carat)
So l ate the dangled carrot
Newsletters and ads I signed up for
Promotional emails, at least four
Well! I laughed myself completely hoarse
It seems I'd won a bloody horse!
I fell down in shock upon my humerus
The situation no longer humorous
My heart sank low weighed down like lead...
It seems it's up the creek I've been led

HOMOPHONE RHYME STYLE TRIAL 2
I saw a murder with my one good eye
A loud one too. What was the cause?
Commotion in the tree, thought I
Judging by incessant caws
It was in the early morning
Just a hair, I think, past eight
Maybe they were in mourning
Or was it something they had ate
I leaned out by the window pane
To see what they had in their cache
Well my pocket really felt the pain
A nest made out of all my cash!
I wanted back what I had seen
I think my watch was up there too!
But last time it was quite the scene
And I left with one eye less than two

Homophones are words that
spelled same have different
Meaning.
A scam can arise from someone's
Lack of knowledge. The word groom
Can be used as a brides husband.
Combing you hair. Or an illegal term.
Before you ever ask anyone to
Marry you.Ask them to define these
Terms.And make them promise never
to help aid into this condition!

Round Mudville Market, foul air was omnipresent
butchers rent fowls’ necks to make tenant's rent,
the scene that was seen was most unpleasant.
As sunset fell, we watched through evening light,
as Casey mighty Casey held his stout bat tight
while striving poet searches to right words write.
Seems a southpaw would tear up bravado's montage
Casey’s legend scorched by unknown pitcher’s flamage
and tears like diamonds sluice down his visage
As darkness gathers, a lone bat flits round diamond site
with Casey wiff, the bleacher rift, for sure a sorry sight
as we quaff stout, raise glasses high, E. Thayer's tale recite.

Whether getting worse, kneed two sea weather

He saw with sore eyes, a belle by a bell
With a smile he couldn’t resist.
He wondered should they wander and they rested a while
Ensuring they missed the mist.
Good genes in good jeans, he told himself
As he ushered her into his home.
The maid made food and they ate at eight
And finally they were alone.
He wanted her more as they gazed at the moor
Then he saw he was terribly wrong.
Who’d have guessed that his guest , that he met out side
Of the Nave was a knave all along…
