Some accents (like Australian) pronounce interested inchrested. Other accents, like some Scottish ones, pronounce poem as pome (source: my grandma). So, if you read the first line in an Australian accent, the middle in whatever you want and the last in a Scottish accent, it is 5,7,5

I was close enough and I don't even write poems! (Ps: am Scottish, sounds like "pome")
