Duplicate Homepage content

Hi to everyone! I would like to know whether duplicating the content of the home page, in order to create a more semantic url with some keywords included, would be a bad practice

For example:

Can I create two pages with the same content, one www.mysite.com and the other www.mysite.com/keyword ? The second page is the one I would indicate as canonical and would be accessible via the "home" link included in the menu site.

Is that a bad practice to avoid doing?

Thank you

If you're just hardcoding it with html/css its not bad practice! If you're using templates that's something can usually be inherited(such as templating in flask, rails, etc).

I hope that helps you out!
