Time for more instances of the homophone:
a word pronounced the same as another but differing in
meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air.
1. marshal (noun): a federal
official who is responsible for doing the things that are ordered by a court of
law, finding and capturing criminals, etc.; a general officer of the highest
military rank; (verb): to arrange a group of people, such as soldiers, in an
orderly way; to move or lead a group of people in a careful way; to arrange or
prepare
2. martial (adj.): of or relating
to war or soldiers
He marshaled all the thoughts
that he
Could manage in senility.
(Too few.)
His martial thoughts remained
so strong—
But nothing stayed for very long.
(Like dew.)
The marshal served him with a
writ—
He couldn’t make too much of it.
(No clue.)
He thought he’d been a marshal
then—
A world war? Well, way back when.
(A coup?)
His life he simply couldn’t find—
As time and stress erased his mind.
(Thoughts … few.)
We marshal moments while we
can.
And then it’s back where we began.
(We’re through.)
