This perfect poem about The Muse, written by the remarkable Tim Storm, has a couple of homophones that make it difficult for people who speak other languages to fully appreciate, but we posted it nonetheless.
The first homophone happens when you see “pain” and were expecting “pane.” This is your clue to reinterpret “female deer,” and consider the poem as if it had been spelled “female dear.”
Upon listening a second time, you realize that this second interpretation gives the poem a more powerful meaning.
Your confirmation that this had been the poet’s intention all along, happens when your Muse “dear” does series of things that no “deer” could ever do.
