“hors d'oeuvres” whatever "or dervs" now it's two syllables, ha ha ha! I just did a Iambic Pentameter, I've been counting all day. Done with all that it's free verse time. You've always been good at Footles, I recall your "Sewing" Footle.

Ha! Don't force it, just get a bigger hammer! Many thanks for your kind words BFF! One, two, three. One, two, three. Time for another footle. See ya!

oh if this is for Brian, I bet he will like it. I sure do (hmm, I pronounce that one word as two syllables. I had no idea of another way to say it)

Everyone I know pronounces it with two syllables. I found a couple of dictionary sites that say two syllables, but the majority say four (including PS and HMS). Four syllables would sound weird LOL. Coming the top footler, you, I appreciate your comment! :)

your creation is beautiful in its well-constructed simplicity--a skill I've not yet developed. Sounds like a romantic evening is in store. Have a great evening, Sara

Many thanks dear neighbor. In a past life, brevity and conciseness mattered. Maybe that experience was helpful for writing these types of poems. LOL

In my book, Linda, 'hors d'ouvres' has two syllables and will always have two. :) You've conjured up a warm, romantic atmosphere with your words here. Lovely work! Cheers - Gary

Hi Gary. I agree with you. if I try to say it in 4 syllables, I feel like the Texan with the southern drawl LOL. Say it fast, and it's two syllables. Many thanks for your visit and confirmation LOL. I appreciate your comments, Linda :)
