Ants in my keyboard:
Not that I would ever eat
cookies while blogging…

Do you know all these
words? ‘Merican Heritage
thinks high school grads should.
Most of the words on
that list are entire lines of
haiku by themselves:
circumnavigate
obsequious xenophobe
recapitulate

I’m nearly certain
I have counted wrong somewhere.
Are you checking me?
I can’t decide how
many syllables in the
word "entire." Two, three?
Perhaps it depends
on just how Southern you are.
En-tye-err? Ent-ire?

Lovely Haiku. Don’t forget to submit it for poetry Friday. The round up is at Adventures in Daily Living - http://adventuresindailyliving.blogspot.com/
Posted on May 31st, 2007 at 4:33 pmTotally creative and talented post! Love it!
Posted on May 31st, 2007 at 4:46 pmFun post, Lissa! I was counting syllables without even thinking about it… how’d you know? Maybe “entire” technically has 2, but it sure sounds like there’s another 1/2 syllable in there when this lifelong Hoosier says it and I’m sure there are Southerners who can get at least another syllable or two out of it!
Posted on May 31st, 2007 at 5:54 pmI thought the Southerners would be the ones pronouncing entire with 2 syllables: en-TARR. Loved the one about the ants!
Posted on May 31st, 2007 at 9:32 pmBaa haa!I was counting and entire totally threw me. I know it SHOULD be 2, but goldarn it if it don’t sound like 3 when I say it. Y’all.
Posted on May 31st, 2007 at 9:34 pmLOL about the ants!
Glad someone is haikuing around here.
I’m too busy trying to figure out how to knit and grow a baby at the same time, lol. 
Posted on June 1st, 2007 at 7:24 amAs I read, my kids are watching Paula Deen on the Food Network. My vote is for *at least* three syllables.
Ellen has a good point about en-TARR. Maybe it depends where in the South?
