Russian songs and poetry Hey everyone! I wanted to ask a question about songs and poems in Russian. I have been learning to sing some songs and recite some poems in Russian recently; and my question is this: Do songs and poems sometimes use the "wrong" cases in order to convey a slightly different meaning to a noun even though it might be gramatically "incorrect" to make the line more poetic or interesting? I think I've noticed some case-endings of words in songs and poems to have a completely different case than I was expecting. I may be wrong and just not know enough about the case-system in Russian, but I could imagine this sort of thing being used in such a way to make sentances more complex and meaningful even though it might not work in normal spoken or written Russian prose.
