Phyllis! Ewe should enter, two!! Yore a natural! (But let me warn you: once on that train of thought, it's hard to jump off. It's twelve hours later, and it's STILL making me crazy! Every time I type a word, its homonym comes into my mind!) I'm NEVER taking on this genre again!! xo

LOL! Thanks for the warning. I won't mess with homonyms again! :)
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written fun poem about using hymonyms and play of words that sounds the same but often have totally different meanings, a very good choice of artwork to complement your poem.

Comment from Knighteagle
This is great, a fantastic use of the prompt and homonyms. I like the humor of the story told, especially the ending. This is a great contest entry, best of luck.

Thanks, Knighteagle! I appreciate that very warm and encouraging review. What was funny (well, sort of...) was (a) how challenging it was to write because it plays so with a word-lover's mind. And then (b) for the rest of the night, I could not stop doing homonyms in my head with every word I wrote! It was making me so crazy, I finally had to step away from the computer altogether.
Anyway, thanks for the review and especially that sixth star! Be sure and vote when the time comes! xo

Thank you, Miss Sherry! It DOES play with this mind, doesn't it?! And even worse, after I FINALLY finished the grueling work of it, I could NOT stop making every freaking word I wrote the rest of the night into a homonym! Oy. I am NEVER tackling this genre again. Eye yam knot kidding!!

LOL - I don't blame you - it is not for me!
Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Rachelle,
Thank you for sharing your entry in The Woes of Homonyms writing contest. You've used your homonyms to the best of their abilities and I love how it came out. The piece is readable, but the mind simply wants the thing to be wrong.
Well done and good luck in the contest,
~MP~

Oh, do I ever hear THAT, Mustang Patty!! I had all I could do to read it out loud (your suggestion last week, you'll recall, about ALL finished works) because my head and eyes just would NOT want to cooperate with each other and move on to the next word. Worse, once I was done, I was still in homonym overdrive and making substitutions for every word I wrote. It was wreaking havoc on my little brain; it really was. Next time this particular contest is offered, I will DEFINITELY be passing on it! Oy!
Comment from Louise Michelle
Haha - this was so much fun to read. And a great reminder of how words in the English language have multiple meanings.
Oh, no, you invited him over for a meal and little did he know he was on the menu. How mean, haha Hugs, Lou

This was hilarious, Rachelle. You did quite the work with all those homonyms. This kind of writing would definitely overtax my brain. Great job and good luck in the contest.

Oh, Charles! It more than taxed my brain, it wreaked HAVOC on it for the rest of the night! I'm not even kidding! I finally had to step away from the computer because every freaking word I wrote, I was thinking of its homonym. This is my last gig with THIS 'art form.' Oy!
But I am glad you found it amusing - (my silver lining) xo
Comment from LisaMay
O Know, yew 8 Bambi!!
I saw this contest listed and I thought it was such a great idea to explore, but I very quickly realised I would get addicted and waste too much time being silly. I have an important deadline for an actual job of work that I have to prioritise (how boring), so I won't be entering this one.
You are a wordsmith like me, and now I can't get homonyms out of my head!!!

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!! I am honest-to-gawd regretting having undertaken this exercise!! In addition to being a wordsmith, I'm also a spelling fussbudget fanatic, so...double whammy! I knew you'd understand!
Good luck with your work project. (What is your line of work?) Aisle bee thinking of ewe.

Stop it, stop it, you are doing my head in!!!
Work for me is part-time tour guide at Olveston Historic Home in Dunedin NZ. My deadline project is to write an article for the newspaper about one of the items in the collection which i have recently researched... it is a 17th century Spanish chest with lots of drawers, used by a noblemen as the equivalent of a filing cabinet when travelling on business. It has beautiful marquetry and a lovely miniature oil painting of St Michael on the front.

Wowie, zowie. That sounds gorgeous! And what a cool gig to have as your everyday life! Well, get to it! And enjoy the process!
