The Caws of Understanding Crows on You

GloMoWriMo Day 14 Prompt is as follows:

Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that incorporates homophones, homographs, and homonyms, or otherwise makes productive use of English’s ridiculously complex spelling rules and opportunities for mis-hearings and mis-readings.

To write the right rite to the right,
In fullest sight upon the site,
But making sure to left is left
The valiant knight by day or night —
A mighty mite that one day might
Make use of clef to cleft a cleft.

To like to liken lichen to
A grass that is by two too few;
A lie to lie to side of truths
When sighed with feuding for one’s food,
Mooed like cowed cow in hungry mood;
Bear like bare bears bear fruiths.

Final full day of daughter’s visit, and Chanticler and 1000 Hills were among the places visited.
