homophones These are words that sound the same, but mean different things (misusing them can be very funny).

I will start it off with the two words threw and through and thru


Have fun!
I just keep hopping from place to place.
I never stay too long.
I just keep moving singing a song.
So you better stop me if you want to chat.
Or you will never know where I am at.

Here is another example that some might cry foul at, but it is totally valid.

the words Fair Fare Fair

Fair like the noun county fair, fare like the fee paid to ride a bus, then the adjective fair as in fair deal

By George, I think I've got it......

They paid the fare to go to the fair.

What is the difference between writing beautiful soul-searching verse about my love, and rhyming about cutting wool off sheep?

One is sheer poetry and the other shear poetry.

They can also be spelled the same and be homonyms. Like row (a boat) and row (of chairs), but row and roe are also homonyms spelled differently. I like bight and bite, and nit and knit, and carp (fish) and carp (complain).
