Some excellent imagery

I would just like to ask you something, you commented on my haiku collection and simply, said

"The poems were good, but some of the syllables were off."

Now a haiku count is, 5,7,5 and after i went back to my poem, there was no 'off syllables' so i just wanted to know where you got the idea that there was.

""Cleansing our tired earth"

"Soaking everything"

They both have 6 syllables. But I guess how its how you say it. Normally, though, to shorten the a syllable you could put an apostraphy. Ex. Because, 'cause. "

I have no idea where you got six syllables from... maybe it's cos your from the 'all mighty USA'

"Clean-sing our tired earth"

"Soak-ing eve-ry-thing"

Five syllables each... =/ Neither need an apostrophe because it's not relevant.
Happy now?

It depends how you pronounce it... like with every word in the dictionary. =/
But it's right and that's what counts so thanks for pointing it out but it's ok.
