Agree. I always try to incorporate as much thing as I know about person. It makes wishes much more memorable and enjoyable than most already made wishes you can find online or on cards in shops.
Maybe we should start writing funeral speeches ^^
Most of those suck ass. Not personal at all. Too superficial and shallow.... No wonder people are always crying ;)
@ Blackkitty
you just always seek perfection! ;)
Always seeking but never reaching it ^^
what to say... words are friends with your train of thought, it appears
Not when I write stories unfortunately. I put too much weight on some words and concentrate on the little things until I lose interest in the rest ^^ I suck at writing. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)
I wish I could write poems, but I don't have such a gift. Though I have tried writing haiku a couple of times... xD
Post it! Post it! Post it! (◕ฺv◕ฺ)
I used to hate poetry in school, probably because it was obligatory and boring stuff... though I've always loved metaphors and comparisons^^
I always liked poetry! We had to translate a poem in English class once! That was awesome!
I can't remember the name anymore. But it rhymed in English and the challenge was to also make it rhyme in German. Was fun.
The teacher kept my notes unfortunately but I think I did a pretty good job. ;)
But I suck at comparisons... I try... but I can never manage to come up with anything good...
why did she tell you that, if I may ask?
I was always to shy to speak freely in front of class. She said that going into the woods and scream would help me get over it. I said I would feel like an idiot doing that. ^^
Honestly don't believe that would have helped...
@ oliver
This is cute. :D
You didn't use syllabic verse, also there's no rhyme within each line. Does this how a western poem look like?
If you just do it for fun, I guess, anything goes ^^
I never studied English literature but there are many different ways to write poems in German. That was one of them. Even though I wouldn't call myself an expert on that (◦’ںˉ◦)
But it seems to be the same in English.
Poe also used that kinda style sometimes: http://poestories.com/read/alone
As for ours, they can be used for the stuffs like that too, but the major uses of them is to help you memorize sentences lot easier.
Ah, we have those school rhymes as well. To help kids remember some stuff.
To be honest, I can't remember a single one ^^
Never helped me much...
