Image: This is wrong* (here)
the 2 given sets of homophones:
cedar (an evergreen tree)
seeder (person connected to a peer-to-peer network
who has a given file and makes it available for downloading)
days (more than one day)
daze (to bewilder)
Where is the allotment of shame?
Sifting through the claimants
Contending to shift blame
On days of unsolicited meanness
Leaving one dazed with a given choice
Like a cedar pleasing with its greeness
Be a seeder extending a fair voice
Faces may be nameless
Fairness is still to be maintained
Utterly wrong to pin down the blameless
For which one is expected to explain
Sincerity is not just a virtue
When righting wrongs with reasons
Bless be the soul to seriously view
Divine rights of innocents

Such wise words Hank wonderfully put in poetry form.

"Sincerity is not just a virtue"
ReplyDeleteLuv the opener of the final verse.
Happy Sunday Hank, thanks for dropping by my blog today
Much💖love🌸
I never thought of writing a poem devoted to homophones. Now that I've read yours, I just might try it. What fun!
ReplyDeleteA different view can sure lead to a new way, sometimes wrongs have to be righted along the way.
ReplyDeleteWhile I applaud your effort Hank I must confess I am not always an eager participant in games like this. Perhaps it is my old brain struggling with normal and screaming at abnormal!
ReplyDelete"Sincerity is not just a virtue"... this is so potent!
ReplyDeleteYou have made me think, Hank!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and wise !
ReplyDeleteEspecially loved your closing lines :
"Bless be the soul to seriously view
Divine rights of innocents"
Dare to be different is the way to be!
ReplyDeleteBe sincere to yourself, is always a virtue...
ReplyDeleteto others it requires tact.
Yes, blessed be those who defend the rights of the innocent.
ReplyDeleteIntense and powerful. Well done!
ReplyDeleteFairness....all the way, a good write and clever use of homophones :)
ReplyDeleteMakes sense to me.

As always, a gem of thoughtful - and thought provoking - wisdom.
ReplyDeleteWe each are different, it is only through pretense that we appear the same....
ReplyDeleteWell said. I like the line about being a seeder.
