POEM STARTER
Compose a poem centred around the theme of love languages.
Love languages refer to the ways in which we express and feel love.
愛して、愛して、愛して
(this poem is based off one of my favorite songs, aishite aishite aishite by miori celesta, but made to be in english with japanese words. i made a challenge to myself to not look up the english lyrics, i can only go by english covers)
some japanese words you need to know for context (you can skip this and be confused if you want to be):
ねえ (nee) — hey
いい子 (iiko) — good girl
でしょ (desho) — right, as in correct
苦しい (kurushii) — it hurts (literally: pain, suffering)
愛して (aishite) — love me
もっと(motto) — more
ごめんなさい (gomennasai) — i’m sorry
aight now it’s time for the actual poem

_Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh_…
_Laaaaalaaaaalaaaaalaaaaa, lalalalalalalalalala_…
_Laaaaaalaaaaaa_…
Far, far away, where there’s none to escape,
A child wore a white collar of lace.
“I’m _begging _for humans, you best feed me humans!”
Mercilessly cried this hungry collar.
_Please do not leave, I will do as you please,_
_Just don’t go, I want you to just stay…_ _(ねえ…)_
“Come fasten me tight, ‘till you’re _begging_ for life!
Now tighter and smaller,
You’ll never escape!”
Can’t you come praise me, oh, please?
ねえ, ねえ, いい子でしょ?
Aren’t I a cute, precious girl?
ねえ, ねえ, いい子でしょ?
苦しい, ねえー!
愛して, 愛して, 愛して! もっと, もっと!
愛して, 愛して! Make me gasp for love,
Don’t let me breathe!
苦しい, 苦しい…
Just set me free…
もっと, もっと, ねえ－!
Much too late,
_I_ _can_’_t_ _be_ _saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaved_…
No matter how old and tall she had grown,
This wretched collar had remained small.
“It’s wrapped up too tight, you can’t satisfy!
My appetite is so much, you won’t appease!”
Mother, look at my grades, they are all A’s,
Aren’t you proud of me, oh so amazed? (ねえ…)
I’m better than them, compared once again!
I’m leaving this house, to be better than this!
Could it be, can it be love?
Behind the gym, please meet me at lunch,
You might think it’s way too much…
I cannot lie, you’re just my kind,
Though you can’t treat me right at all!
愛して, 愛して, 愛して…
I’ll give you everything…
Then I’ll have you,
_Then I’ll have you…_
And your shoulder all to myself..!
苦しい…
I won’t let go..!
苦しい…
もっと, もっと, ねえー…
ごめんなさい！
愛して, 愛して, 愛して!
もっと, もっと!
愛して, 愛して! Make me gasp for love,
Don’t let me breathe…
苦しい…
Don’t let me go…
苦しい…
もっと, もっと, ねえー!
This makes me so _happy..!_
_Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!_
_Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh…_
and this is the reason i need duolingo..
Oml it deleted your reply
that’s so cool you know japanese, i’m impressed!
and my character would probably be blue!! because blue is calming but also can be sad (the blues) or chaotic (ocean waves) or even bright (the afternoon sky on a warm day) and hopeful! she is all of the above!
I’m going to start a new thread bc I’m scared it’s gonna start deleting replies like it does sometimes lol😭
So I come up with a basic idea, and then I come up with a character.
I think of what that character wants more than anything based off the idea. I also come up with its greatest fear.
Once I have what they want more than anything in the world, I think, how can I keep them from getting that? And then I have a pretty good start.
And then with the climax, they are obviously fighting for what they want more than anything, and then they have to face their greatest fear to get it.
And then boom it’s a little more complex, then I come up with stepping stones up to that battle, and with every chapter I write up to that, they have a goal, whether that’s oh I have to catch this bus, or in my WIP, the first chapter is “I have to outrun this person and win this race.” Or (also from my WIP) like I have to take down this entire rebellion basically my myself. They always need to be working on something and need to have more than just the main goal.
Then boom you have a plot lol trust me it works
Girl I read the language cheat sheet but I could not do it😭💀
I’m just bad at the game lol
