Can you understand the feeling of the lyrical self (explain)?

Hello to us who it is about the poem

"Figuratively speaking" by Ulla Hahn

Please I would like to read your opinion thank you!!

If I were a tree I would grow into your hollow hand and if you were the sea I would build you white castles out of sand.

If you were a flower I would dig you up with all your roots; if I were a fire I would lay your house in soft ashes.

If I were a mermaid I would suck you down to the bottom and if you were a star I would shoot you out of the sky.

Ballad factual and personal style?

ByEmyReusch March 7, 2024March 30, 2025

We're giving a presentation on the ballad "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and are supposed to explore the transition between factual and personal styles. I don't understand it, and Googling isn't helping. Can someone please help me?

Verb for that?

Byurmom193 April 30, 2024March 29, 2025

I want to write that I couldn't do anything. A synonym for that would be "my hands were tied." A verb that fits that is on the tip of my tongue, but I don't know which one. Can you think of something? Or another synonym?

What sentence would you start a story (book) with?

ByGivenTaken July 23, 2024February 21, 2025

Hi, I'm thinking something like this: "I traced the raindrops on the windowpane with my finger and thought how my life could have ended like this." (then there would be a flashback to the character's life.) Something like that. Or anything to do with heaven. How are things with you? LG GivenTaken

Bymedi12989 April 16, 2023February 17, 2025

Do you think it is likely or rather very unlikely that a poem that was tested in previous years in another federal state could be tested in this year's Abitur?

Poem – can anyone help me (meter/rhyme scheme)?

ByLyly06 June 18, 2023March 30, 2025

Hello, I'm having trouble with poems when it comes to meter. Rhyme schemes, iamb/dactyl, etc. What I've already figured out is that the first line of each stanza has 11 syllables, the second always has 10, the third always has 11, and the fourth always has 4. Can someone help me with the rest? That…

Was it common in the Romantic era to follow strict poetic forms?

Bymoonlight1716 May 14, 2023March 30, 2025

Hello, Unfortunately, I've only found contradictory information on this question online. Some websites claim that free form poetry was particularly popular during the Romantic period, while others say that people adhered to fixed forms like sonnets, odes, etc.

No, I can’t understand, or at most in the first stanza. After that, the love of the lyrical ego becomes possessive, selfish (without regard for damage to the lyrical du) and brutal (bangling).
