Can see but not sing

Third line also 5

(Cherryh is pronounced Cherry 1 sylabel, genre is also 1) hence 7 and 5

Lee Child's Jack Reacher
Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden (I got this one wrong - edited it for you)
Unusual detectives

(unusual =2 de-tect-ives =3 total 5)

No pages turn
on an electronic book but
reading's pleasure gained

(electronic =3)

Haiku, it is all
Ab-out how you read the words
parse cor-rect-ly

Cherryh - (Chair-ee) - 2 syl
Genre - (Zhan-reh) - 2 syl
Unusual - (Un-u-zhu-al) - 4 syl (possibly 3, un-u-zhul)
Electronic - (E-lec-tron-ic) - 4 syl (only 3 if you say Lec-Tron-Ic

Parse (1) correctly (3) = 4

Unless CJ Cherryh actually pronounced her last name as 1 syl. I don't really know as I've never heard it pronounced.

I say Tom-ah-to
you say, To-may-to, to me
Let's call the whole thing ...

Off.

griffonwing · 06-25-2009, 12:04 PM

agreed.

I will go to bed
tonight, knowing i was right.
I'm a pompous ass!

Ah, Self Delusion
it is my bread and butter
As will always be.

Haiku pedantry
oft' looks to counts; not content -
cherry blossoms fall

Cheers,
Marc

YIKES! Haiku police
Come out to correct us all!
Quick, go run and hide.....

(just kidding now
variation is allowed
-it's another type

for this thread, though,
we asked for standard, just 5
and seven and five)

Please tolerate me.

"e-leck-a-tron-ic"!

How far "south" can a
state like yours truly be in
"North" Carolina?

Here in the Ozarks
we don't say 'Lec-Tron-Ic', but
that Thing-a-ma-bob.

That new-fangled thing
what goes beep and bleepy-beep
And checks your email.

Shifting cotton clouds.
Breezy wind ruffles feathers
of the swimming geese.

Strike a match and lightly puff
Sit back and enjoy.
