Technically, you can do whatever you like in poetry. As long as it's still intelligible, anything goes.

Actually, durelin, learning every single day? Good luck to you! Kath and I are going at a rate of about one lesson per week, which we think works quite well.

Does anybody here (who has got to lesson three) like to put the adjective after the noun?

I parma carne - The book red
Instead of
I carne parma - The red book.

Again, it's incredibly handy that you can use both, because it makes it that much easier to rhyme. I prefer the English method in sentences though.
