So I posted my haiku in the staff chat.
A colleague came over to ask why the last line only has four syllables. I told him that’s because I counted our as two syllables. Upon Googling, I realised that our is considered to have one syllable because there is no consonant between o and u. But some varieties of English pronounce it as Au-er, so I’m not exactly wrong. That’s why I love English. It can be prescriptive, but it is dynamic too.
