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. morn (noun): morning; dawn
2. mourn (verb): to feel or
show great sadness because someone has died; to feel or show great sadness or
unhappiness about something
They could but mourn that
dreary morn
When hope collapsed and fear was born.
They tried excuses (none convinced)—
So many things they railed against.
But hope (as Emily declared)
Has feathers—and is never scared.
So they went on—or so I’ve heard.
Their leader was that hopeful bird.
And when the sunset spread its glow,
Their every yes replaced each
no.
