A small poem about words that can sound Similar but mean Different things: recent vs. resent, patients vs. patience, lose vs. loose, peace vs. piece, coarse vs. course, insight vs. incite, recent vs. resent, lesson vs. lessen, sole vs. soul, device vs. devise, seize vs. cease, intents vs. intense, and waist vs. waste.
Your recent patients
Resent your patience,
You lose the peace
A too loose piece,
A coarse insight
To a course to incite,
A recent lesson
To resent and lessen,
A sole device
For a soul to devise,
You must seize your intents
To cease the intense
Pain around your waist
And time to waste.
