Sweetcherrie Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Sounds like an ode that Appy could have written, she wuves the brown stuff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincunx Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynx Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Celes Crusader Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyyark Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincunx Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (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.
