House-Raising (Senryu)

[Lizzie]

House-Raising (Senryu)


Our people live in
buildings foreign men erect -
friends house-raising?  Dead.

Another one about houses.

Even though it's a bit nonsensical, I keep reading:

'buildings foreign, men erect'

My silly brain.....

Gordon R. Dickson wrote a scifi serial/novel titled "Tactics of Mistake."  I say no more   .

This morning it's even worse: all I can see is

'...buildings. Foreign men erect -'

You've just got to choose a different verb, that's all there is to it.

Ok fine, I'll check out that book.
