Counting Syllables in Senryu?Counting syllables? Senryu comes from your heart It's the thought that counts Visions of one's love Inspires a romantic poem Kindling a soul Love, growing from words Intertwined in senryu Do syllables count? If you can't say it in 17 syllables, is it worth saying? lol  ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance.

Well then, I guess not! These are charming! I would respond in kind, but I think you've read my mind! |

Lady in White - lol - there are mistakes in there! I thougth for sure you would nail me! Titia - Thank you, the object of this was to see if anyone counted them, as there are mistakes but hard to figure out? Thanks! ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |

heh heh heh Well, I had decided that you said senyru with 3 syllables, possibly, and kindling, as well. i.e. sen-y-ru kin-dl-ing this is how I say them sen-ru and kin-dling although, I've never heard anyone say the word senyru, only seen it in print at poetry sites at any rate, I still enjoyed the read and the counting |

Virginia: You got it! Maybe the senryu is said differently in Canada, eh? He he, and there was one more wrong yet! wpwpoet: Ah shucks thanks, and normally counting does count, but I was having fun - sometimes it is good to break the rules! ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance.

you KNOW I caught 'em all, lady  Are syllable counts important? Of course not!! As a matter of fact I'm tired of water being H2O..if it's H1O or H3O is it any less wet?!?!?! Let's call them Senyru GOTAS (Give Or Take A Syllable).... Whatever you write in however many syllables you choose to use still adds up to wonderful in my book |

I never count that when I read just in critique and THIS sums up an amazing heart for feeling. " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |
