Vows
Vows are often associated with marriage. But how often do we write vows to ourselves? Do it. Write yourself a vow as short or long as you'd like. This is your promise to yourself that you can someday renew if you'd like or reiterate to the end of time. What do you promise yourself? It's a democracy this time. Tag me if you want me to read/react. I've left a link to a sample in an entry to the challenge. Have fun :)

Homophone Asseverations

I have here some intense intents,

an ode that I am owed;

so here I write about what's right,

a piece to bring me peace.

I vow to sieze the seven seas;

this bard will not be barred.

I do assent to this ascent;

through sun and rain I'll reign.

My words will raise the dawn's first rays,

the pane absorbs her pain.

She'll hear what I create down here;

real rhymes will make her reel.

The storms will throw me in their throes;

their fare is hardly fair-

but this coward won't be cowered.

Now, hear this: I'm still here!

And if I reel, I'll keep it real;

I will not mourn the morn.

I will push through the daze most days;

I won't be weak all week.

There may be sighs about the size

of each new sea I see-

but if I ail, I'll swig some ale;

doubt frays with each new phrase.

Now, I would give my fav'rite eye-

you gods please heed my pleas-

these claws must unearth ev'ry clause;

I can't bide paws that pause.

I'll be crowned prince of story prints

with tales of roguish tails;

an idol that won't sit idle-

the balm after the bomb.
