Description:
I might be starting a series of poetry swaps. I love to write and I think this would be a great way to nurture your writing skills, as well as sharing and meeting new people. For this swap, you'll write a traditional haiku. 5,7,5 syllables. based on the theme "November". So, any fall, leaves, Thanksgiving, blessings, cold, nature, seasons, etc is ok. Remember this s a poem that YOU write, so please don't try to pass one off the internet as your own. You will send to 5 partners via email. All are welcomed. **Question: Do you think this would be better as a postcard swap or email? Enjoy!

Question: how many syllables in "grey"? In Danish you can only have one vowel in each syllable.

@mooncastle That's a good question. The kind of thing I like to puzzle out. ;>) on first look i thought one syllable but then remembered - I think you call them dipthongs so gr would be one syllable and I think ey would make another syllable. So I would quess grey has two syllable although it sounds like one. I don't really know for sure. Would love to hear what others think.

A diphthong is when you have two vowel sounds in one syllable.

Wikipedia: "A diphthong ( /ËˆdÉªfÎ¸É’Å‹/ or /ËˆdÉªpÎ¸É’Å‹/;[1] Greek: Î´Î¯Ï†Î¸Î¿Î³Î³Î¿Ï‚, diphthongos, literally "two sounds" or "two tones"), also known as a gliding vowel, refers to two adjacent vowel sounds occurring within the same syllable". (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphthong).

So, by definition, a diphthong is one syllable. :)
