The English language
is so darn confusing
the words that we use
are sometimes amusing
Two, to and too
their, there and they're
which and witch
I pull out my hair
Son and sun
both can be bright
when jotting down lines
is it right or write
Who thought up these words
someone's to blame
mom and dad, have a spelling
in reverse, still the same
No and know,
often misused
knight and night
oh my, I'm confused
Of course there are words
like blew and blue
morning and mourning
shoe and shoo
Words drive me crazy
even though I've been taught
vowels and spellings
not, knot, naught
Dock and Doc
bear and bare
you gotta be kidding
I really don't care
These crazy words just
keep getting worse
tuff and tough
I think it's a curse
Hare on my head
a hair in the barn
where, ware and wear
bring on a big frown
Something in my I
eye don't understand
ewe or you
I'm going insane
Deer and dear
have their own place
when used correctly
puts a smile on my face
Vowels are needed
in most daily words
this English language
is for the birds
Board or bored?
ewe be the judge
this poem 'bout words
shirley was fun...
~ ~ ~
Now pick up your pens
write a challenge poem too
they're really quite fun
when words are set loose
You're going to love
scribbling your rhymes
but clock ticks away
then runs outta time
You know what I'm saying
snooze and you lose
this poetry challenge
is simply just words
Teasing your brain
while having some fun
you should have tossed
two cents into the bunch
:)
your/you're
to/two/too,
there/their/they're
have/would have/should have
lie, lay
who's, whose
lose/loose
than, then
no, know
10 word challenge
