Appraisals

hordes of employees

see auricles expand

beyond proportion

to internalise

predictions

of Boss-oracles.

 

appraisals see

cash being hoarded

by those

who have whored their way

sacrificing values

and self-respect.

 

Loyalty is rewarded

while capability

patiently

awaits its turn

or silently,

gives up

 

Saturday Mix- Double Take Challenge

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:

auricle – external part of the ear
oracle – seer

and

hoard – a great stash
horde – a great many people
whored – prostituted
