A month of madness

Homophone mood

Today I am mostly not.
Because my brain is in a knot
Can I really write?
When I do not feel right?
With words that sound the same
A simple error can undo
the poem I do write
And when discussed
Some show disgust
to show what isn't right
I could Mistake and say a word
That isn't spelt that way
For their and there
A grammar snare
From words that sound the same




* a homophone is a word that sounds the same but is spelt different, the favourite being 'there' and 'their
