Short Homophones Poems

They’re having their tea over there,
To have two cups too,
We’re going to wear our cloths, where?
I don’t really mean to be mean,
So tear your tear away,
Aren’t homophones and homonyms,
A fun a fun way to play?...

Her life is plain
so she gets on a plane
and travels to a Nebraska plain

two passengers
too inebriated to speak
travel with her too

they’re awakened upon arrival
their luggage falls from the overhead
we are there, says the stewardess...

11 Reasons People Die
David J Walker


Broken hearts and 
Broken bones

A long list of 
Homophones 

Of all the other
Vague unknowns 

Quoted in a despite sigh
A lost list of 

Tears to cry 
11 reasons people die

Though everyone knows 
10 are a lie

1 is the only number 
To apply

To all the reasons 
People die...

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!...

Broken Stones
David J Walker


Breaking stones and compromise 
The sun arise 
	And I am gone

	I am alone
My bones strewn with
	Broken stones 

Dreams drained of hues 
        And tones

Hills climbed 
        Ill-defined
	Words refined 
With stolen loans

Poetics borrowed 
	In runes and roans  
cantrips laid 
In homophones

 	I am a fool for hopeful things...

I finally stopped belittling myself for not knowing them all.
Because who does? 
I mean, really, WHO?
Maybe my mother.
No one else in my family.
There are 600,000 of them in the English language.
Homophones like ate and eight.
Adjectives like gurgling and bungling.
Adverbs like actively and mactively
Okay I made up mactively
So I guess that makes six hundred thousand and one....

I reminisce 
my youth, my innocence 
and strange relationships in the world.
My mother said…..
“You want to see a match burn twice,”
I said enthusiastically with all naivete “Yes.”
She lit a match.
She blew it out and touched my hand.
“Ouch,” I said.
“See.  Didn’t I say it would burn twice,” she said.
I wondered.
Did she demonstrate this to introduce homophones?
Was she trying to say I was stupid?
Was she sick?
I reminisce.
Sometimes I miss.
