Sarah is our host for the MLMM Saturday Mix challenge. Click here for more info on how to join in.
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:
do – first note of diatonic scale
doe – a female deer
dough – uncooked bread
and
doc – a physician
dock – where a boat is kept
The wafting aroma of the bread dough baking in the oven caused the curious doe to come to the window and sing the do, ray, me song at the top of her lungs.
The buck, hearing her song, wandered over to the window by the dock. The bucks antlers scratched the window which caused the woman’s husband to run into the kitchen. When the buck saw the doc rush to the kitchen to come to the aid of his wife, the buck ran away as fast as he could.
The photo was taken outside my friend’s kitchen window.
