poetry? - anyone can :)

So every day I read a Samantha poem

she writes one poem a day

the art of noticing your life

It's such a sensuous way

to focus

It moves me

I have a try

even though I stumble

I'm not so good and I can't help but rhyme

even if it's not the right time

Then the other day in class

when my mind falls in its regular fog

of swirling dative/akkusative der, die das ness

we turn to seite dreissig and

I wake up

They want us to write a poem - in German

yikes

but it's ok, it's easy, it's fun and there's a formula!

I do mine with Wendy and it comes out like this:

Ruhig

Der See

Aus dem Fenster

Wir vergessen unsere Ubung

Donnerstag

or this in English

Calm 

The lake

Out the window

We forget our lesson

Thursday

Ha Ha

Have a go, write one for yourself

It's called an Elfchen (little eleven)

11 words in 5 lines

1st = an adjective / a noun? (1 word)

2nd = what is / what is it? (2 words)

3rd = where is it / what does it? (3 words)

4th = something about yourself / the noun (4 words)

5th = conclusion word (1 word)

We read them out to each other and left the last line to guess. 

My German class just got funner.

Write yourself one.

share

I'd love to read it :) 

(yep that's the view out the window

pretty easy to drift off . . .)
