Make me your own

  2. A storm of love? Now that's something I'd love for sure. Someone to storm my heart with love. Liked the thought a lot. :)

    Well, Kanshicho haiku doesn't have syllable restrictions as far as I know :) So it is legit in that form. At Haiku Heights, I request contributors to stick to a maximum of 17 , in which case it is off by one syllable :)

    1. Er.. saw your comment at my blog :) Counting syllable is quite easy. Just split into how you would pronounce it and the number of sounds in each line would give you syllables.

      Let your love raise a storm (6, one syllable per word)
      Blaze me, raze me, whirl me a-way (8, one per word first 6, last word has 2)
      Make me your own (4, one per word) :)

      so your name Meenakshi would have 3 since you speak it as Mee-na-kshi :) Hope that helps?
