OOC: An exercise in my German class today - I was the only one to say 'YAY' when we were told to write a poem

Hope you guys like it. It was an interesting structure to write in...

[Zariah]

I think it's really cute!

That's all I can really say, since i don't know German.

[Sweetcherrie]

Sounds like an ode that Appy could have written, she wuves the brown stuff as well.

[Quincunx]

Well then, what makes a German poem recognizable? Are there a set amount of syllables in a line, do they rhyme, does free verse exist in German?

[Mynx]

Well I am still very much a beginner at learning the language, and this activity we had been given came with a structure to help those who weren't too poetically inclined.

 

It went as follows:

 

Line 1: One noun

Line 2: Two adjectives

Line 3: Three verbs

Line 4: Four words about the topic

Line 5: One noun - summarise

[Lady Celes Crusader]

Well, you're totally in the spirit of what it had been asked to you. I does look cute since I know as much German as Zariah.

[Patrick]

Cute little poem. Just a minor note: umarmung should be written with an uppercase u, being a noun. Nah, that's just nitpicking, given the fix format of what you had to write I think it is a pretty good poem.

[Nyyark]

Super! Ich hat eine Dict fur meiner Deutsch Klass auch gemacht, aber es war schlect. I think it had to do with decapitating a cat... Yours is much better.

(Tzimfemme looks puzzled for a moment.)

 

I suppose the cinquain structure can jump languages, haiku structure did after all, and it is at once structured and unstructed, to make a good lesson. Might borrow this idea for language practice.
