So... I freelance whenever I can, and am signed up with a few websites that supposedly put clients & artists together, when someone has a project. Usually, the job is undoable, the pay they offer is low (not to mention that the website takes a cut), or it's just porn cartoons they want! Anyhow, this morning I received this doozy: Dear Christopher: Within the last 24 hours, employers posted one or more projects that match your How to find the below project(s):

Not exactly UT! See - it can't just rhyme.... It needs to be phonetic! Come on folks - embrace the genious of this tortured soul... He/she has created over 650 of these "little gems" - surely we can beat that number. |

My friend Jackie just sent me this: Do all of this guy's poems have derivatives of "something-her"? SITTING ON A CURB BOGGED WITH MISCELLANEOUS DUTIES IT WAS SUGGESTED Scary how quickly she picked it up! Of course - she is a real poet, folks... |

OK - see it's words that sound like each other phonetically.... So, while a nice poem - it should be something like: The farmer found out the hard way..... |

Ahhhhhhhhh... "I see", said the blind man! So - the original emailer is wrong in his description of "Phonetic" poetry? Should it be "Homonym" poetry? A quick check of the definitions reveals that yes, PJ has once again chumped me. |

Ok, now I have to break up all the fun for a little grammar lesson… Homonyms are only word pairs like, where and wear (which would work for the poems), but since the poem allow for pairs such as “classic” to go with “class. ICK!” you would have to call the poems phonetic and not homonymic. So, the original poster was actually correct. Ok you can now continue the fun now; grammar lesson over. P.S. this is my favorite one.

Actually, homonyms (from the Latin for "same name") are words that are BOTH spelled the same and prounounced the same, but have different meanings. EX: quiver (verb - to shake or move with a slight trembling motion) and quiver (noun - a case for holding arrows). What y'all are actually dealing with are homophones (from the Latin for "same sound"), two or more words that are pronounced alike, but are different in spelling or meaning. |
