TIME FOR AN ASSIGNMENT Y'ALL PI-WHIPPERSNAPPERS.
We'll see if anyone feels like doing it. But I triiiied. x'D Tried to make something educational but (hopefully) amusing! Hopefully y'all like poetry!
_{Also derpy picture because I totally didn't forget my turn was this month. And I totally wasn't at school from 9am to 7pm today. Nope. 8'D I'm too tired to draw anything properrrrr.}

FEEL FREE TO ASK IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. I'll try to answer. Though yep. I'm not native in English, so I don't really care if the stuff is grammatically right or not, as long as it works. And if you can say it the way it should go, it works! And that is good enough for me! xD

Okay class! This time we're going to talk Poetry! And no, Im not talking about rhymes and all that – as nice as they may be – we're going to talk poetic meters and lyric poetry! We're just going to scrape the surface of it for now, but maybe on later lessons we  can dig deeper too, hah-haa~.”

”Today's main topics will be the Dactylic Hexameter, and along with it the following feet: Trochee, Spondee and Dactyl. I have them all here on this little handout and then you can all get to making your own lyric poems!”

~~~~~

TL;DR: Write a verse in Dactylic Hexameter (Explained below) and, if you wish, illustrate the story with your character

OR draw/write about your character getting frustrated because they can't come up with a fitting word for a part of their poem or something like that!

In poetry syllables can be either long or short, and certain combinations of short and long syllables become different kinds of Feet. This time we'll learn Trochee, Spondee and Dactyl, as well as the Dactylic Hexametre.

But first, how do we tell a syllable is long or short?
A syllable is long if it either has an elongated vovel, a diftong (two different syllables after one another) or a vovel is followed by two consonants. It's actually something you can hear! For example 'kit' and 'trap' are short while 'nurse' and 'lose' are long.
I will be marking long syllables with Bold in these examples.
We're not going in too deep into how to tell which ones are naturally that way, I'm just going to trust your judgement in this one! _{(Mainly because Bulbie isn't native in English and not sure how to explain this in a way that works in any other language than Finnish or Latin, sorry!)}

And with that said, Feet are usually made of one or two syllables. These are the three feet we're getting familiar with this time and how they are formed:
Trochee is a combination of a Long and Short syllable. (Long-Short)
Spondee is Long and Long Syllable. (Long-Long)
Dactyl is Long, Short and Short syllable. (Long-Short-Short)

A Dactylic Hexametre is pieced from 6 feet by the following key:
The Feet 1-4 are either Dactyl (Long-Short-Short) or Spondee (Long-Long).
The Foot 5 is ALWAYS Dactyl (Long-Short-Short).
The Foot 6 is either Spondee (Long-Long) or Trochee (Long-Short).

NOTE: You CAN make it so the word is split on multiple feet. For example a Dactylic Hexametre could be like this: ”Fee-ding the / sweet kan-ga- / roos is fun, / Calm and  re- / war-ding as / al-ways.”
(Dactyl / Dactyl / Dactyl / Dactyl / Dactyl / Trochee)

Now that was a fine verse. Wow. So deep. *SHOT*

Here's another example that I actuall found on Wikipedia and liked:
”This is the / forest prim- / eval. The / murmuring / pines and the / hemlocks, ”
_{-From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem Evangeline}
Another example of 5 Dactyls and a Trochee!

Some examples of single words:
Trochee: Live-ly, Toas-ty.
Spondee: Pee-wee, Voor-hees, Card-board.
Dactyl: Straw-ber-ry,  Short-ca-ke, Po-et-ry.

Your this assignment: Write a verse or few in Dactylic Hexameter. It can be just one or multiple if you're feeling spunky! And don't worry about making mistakes, I'm no master in this either, epsecially not when dealing with English! XDD _{Honestly, I'm no-longer even sure if the 'kang' in 'kangaroo' is a short syllable after all. Could be long too, I guess? But it's past midnight. And I had like 9 hours of school. My brain is toast. Don't wanna fix. xD}
You may also draw according to it, or picture your character trying to desperately come up with ideas for their assignment!
