This is very clever.
I soon spotted the homophones straight away, then had fun seeking the rest in every line.
So yes Debi
Congratulations on such a great poetic word ballet.

    Wow, Tim, didn't expect you to review it, but thank you so much. I just knew that when you talked about puns that you might enjoy this one.
    Thanks for the awesome comments. I truly appreciate it. And if you ever decide to make up a new puns type poem structure, I am there with you.
    Thanks again, dear friend. Love, Debi

    Why would I take the time to read something and then not review it?
    If I don't like something I stop reading it. So I only ever give a low score review if I like the work but it has issues that I feel need addressing. If that's the case I will relook at my rating if I am informed it has been addressed.
    I won't score something low because I don't like it as I view that as a 'me' problem.

My goodness that was quite a challenge you made for yourself. A number of years ago, there was one poet who really loved this kind of poetry and I can't remember the name of the poetic type but it did use homonyms like you did. Great job!

    Hi Helen, and here I thought I made it up. LOL, actually I had no idea. I just was so bored with my normal eight or fourteen syllables so had to challenge myself. I was in bed so I hate to just lay around if I am not sleeping. So I did have a little fun with this.

    And thank you for the sweet comments too, and if you think of what it is called let me know. But don't go out of your way to think about it, as I know you have a lot on your mind. Thanks again, Sweetheart. Love ya! Debi

    I don't remember that writer's name so it would be hard to find. But just a google turned up Homonym Poems and homonization poem:

Cleverly done. How confusing the English language is! I enjoy this kind of wordplay. I would mete out a sixth star for the meat in this one if Tom would meet my request for an additional one.

    Hahaha, Tony, good ONE, and you WON the prize for the most fun review.
    Even if you said PLEASE, you could never do enough to PLEASE Tom to get another six out of him. LOL..

    So I appreciate your virtual one, as it means the same to me. Thank you so very much, Tony. You are awesome! Love, Debi

I thought I had written a review for this already; I know I read it on Sunday and found all your puzzle's answers. You must have been extra bored on Saturday night and decided to stay up late to write something a little more challenging for your fans.

Thanks for the entertaining poem with the hidden prize inside:-)

Be well!

xoxo

Hi Debi, I shouldn't really be reviewing this poem because I don't know what bis called for. I just wanted to say that I really liked and the story within. Ulla xcx

    Sorry this is so late, Ulla. Have had some big health issues but not like me to complain like I did on my last thank you too. I sure appreciate your kindness and it was good to talk to a friend like you. So thanks for the kind comments for this and for being so caring, my sweet friend. Love, Debi

A fun poem and with the added homonyms and homophones and homografts. That was quite a challenge you set for yourself with this one.

Well done Debi.
Blessings

This was a cute message about being careful not to judge until you know all the facts. I loved the part about him offering a beer so he couldn't be as terrible as the brother first thought. No one that offers alcohol can be that bad - lol.

    Hi Monica, thanks for the fun review. Just wondering if you caught what the poem was for? Did you realize about all the homonyms and homophones in each line. It was set up as a little game for the reader. Please go back and look again if you didn't see that part. I promise it will be worth it, as it was a big challenge. But thank you either way, dear friend. Love and hugs, Debi

Hey Debi, this was such a cool made up story that I started to get a little frustrated with the guy that was dumping our little sister when he hadn't even started dating yet. lol Well thank you for the authors notes with all the information. If you hadn't placed it there I know I wouldn't have caught it all. So, thanks so much. You did a great job and if I had a six I'd give you one lol

How did I miss this post. I'm kind of glad I did because I'm #26 making this an All Time Best!!! Woo-hoo...

It was a fun read. Besides the story told, I found my dorky self reading it slow to pick out all the homo's (haha)... just kidding with a little silly word play (hope you're not offended).

Anyway, sis another fabulous post, written in DPM style. Way to go...

John

    John, you are a Sweetheart! Thank you for this glowing review and such kind compliments. It was a challenge, but that just made it more fun. And heck, as I kept proofreading, I had to read it slow too.

    So thank you also for these awesome six stars. I am so touched, and appreciate it, my sweet brother. Love, Debi
