i need a favor from one of the French members here, i have to write a poem for my French class, and i suck at both French AND writing poems. it somehow has to do something with love, and at least 10 lines long. any help here would be greatly appreciated.
-
I know how to speak French, but when I write it, it always comes out full of typos and grammar mistakes.
Now I could make a Russian, English, Dutch, German, Spanish or Italian poem, but that doesn't help much here :p
My lesser languages are: Japanese, Chinese, French
And I must admit that my Spanish isn't 100% either :p

as i said, i also suck at writing poems in general, so if we could start with just some inspiration, or a good, web based poem generator in french

well, search for one, coz I'm nothing like a poet or someone who would know anything about that. find someone to make one for you or anything, and I'll translate.

having to write a poem about love in a language you don't know...ouch. :blah: :D
-
ouch, indeed. especially since this is my third year of french and i'm only capable of saying :"je ne parles pas francais", "i don't speak French". i don't know what the problem is with languishes, since my english is reasonable, but my German and French are terrible. even my with mother language , Dutch, i make loads of spelling errors. anyway, i'll see what i can come op with for a poem, but i'd still like ideaes...

And even that is wrong :p
Its "Je ne parle pas Francais".
And even this "might" be wrong :p

I am not good at peotry but I just thought I'd give it a shot.
Love moves in strange ways
Finally you meet some one
That person whispers the words to you
The words that you have missed all these years
But in time the words fade
They are no longer enough
They were just a facade
A mask around an empty shell
But then again, words cannot define love
It cannot be defined
It must be felt
The warm touch of love
Something that never fades

ooooo, me i think i'll borrow that as a bit of a chat up line :wink:

Of all the things wrong with English, at least we don't have to worry about gender. :)
