    Another excellent senryu, Michael - you have hit a real purple patch with them recently.

    All the best

    When it comes to politics I prefer to hold my peace. You did an excellent job with this write. So much said in a few words. Take care

    Thank you Hellon,

    you are quite right, I do like to push boundaries from time to time. But, in this case I checked on the sites 'Rhymes' tab and it counted 1 x syllable. I agree though that it is debatable. And we know where I stand on that subject:

    Take care and thank you for your comment.

    No..you are correct, of course soiled has only one syllable...with my accent I say soy-eld and..knowing your somewhat rebellious nature towards syllable count you just threw me slightly :)
