two sets of homophones all to be 

used in poetry or prose.

horse – animal
hoarse – lack of voice
and
stationery – pen, paper, envelope etc.

stationary – still, unmoving

curious and hoarse with wonder 

seeing the lorry remaining 

stationary parked in front 

of the stationery store unmoving 

and idle not unlike a horse 

tied to a post waiting 

to be ridden off

but what can be the bother 

for how stubborn a donkey is 

it can still be lured to move 

with a carrot dangling 

in front of its nose

it has everything to do with 

the driver for to look after him 

well is to motivate him to do 

wonders in the job beyond 

one's expectations

however, if any dissatisfaction 

is imposed or is felt by him then 

whatever persuasion or motivation 

that comes his way will not impact 

as much on him

it is human nature to accord 

respect in cognizance of good 

work that the response will be 

reciprocated more than asked for 

which invariably will be mutually 

beneficial to both parties
