Cry from the Darkness
When all that is is up for profit
A call for prophet needs pierce the sky
Tortured, twisted souls will never rest
Until wrest from darkness by the light

This week we are seeing double with ‘Double Take’. The ‘Double Take’ challenge focuses on the use of homophones to build your writing piece. You have two sets of homophones and you are challenged to use all of them in your response – which can be poetry or prose. Our homophone sets this week are:
profit – money earned
prophet – seer
and
rest – stop working
wrest – take away
What a powerful poem.
