Squirrel has two beats.
I think you are wrong, my friend.
Your haiku is off.

Though you're in England
Your English is incorrect.
Katie's on my side

in this case, I figure a shared first name outweighs shared parentage.
Katie | 11.21.03 - 12:41 pm | #

one sylable. pah.
why can i put 'squir' up here,
and 'rel' on this line?

Letters can be split
Against their syllabic wont
But words do not change
Katie | 11.21.03 - 6:17 pm | #

clever poetry will not win you this debate.

aubrey thinks i'm right
and he studied film writing
what do you say now?
susan | Homepage | 11.22.03 - 6:59 pm | #

Justin thinks I'M right
And he's an English major
So neener neener.

kristin, who initially thought you were right, has just discovered her error. say it slowly. skwer-ril. you can't do it without two sylables.

If that is the case
Ev'ry word said in the south
Syllabically grows
Katie | 11.23.03 - 6:17 pm | #

And anyway...

Since when do you need
Syllables for a screenplay
Aubrey does not count
Katie | 11.23.03 - 6:19 pm | #

now you're cutting out sylables entirely just to make them fit in your twisted haikus!

by the way, you should definitely check out the haiku generator...

I'm a composer/lyricist. I can cut out syllables wherever I darned well please.
Katie | 11.23.03 - 11:01 pm | #

then your poem should have read:

'oh, the dampened squir'ls!'
susan | Homepage | 11.24.03 - 6:40 pm | #

Except it's only has one syllable to begin with, so that was unnecessary. But if it would make you happy...
Katie | 11.25.03 - 12:14 am | #

now you're patronizing, eh? alright. i accept. i love you...
