Analysis of Homily
The soul of the reader is consumed for a time,
In the very well metered rhyme,
The rhyme consumes the mind as well,
And makes pictures that mentally gel.
This my friend in truth has a name,
And those that use it well proclaim,
It can make the soul fly totally free,
Wonderful and descriptive homily.
