Description
A poem by Heinrich Heine written in something close to "Münchner Fraktur". I had to check with "Duden" (German orthography bible) for the long s (ſ ). No half r in Fraktur however; luckily there are no d/o/p-r combinations in it.
This is my first real practice run with an actual calligraphy pen. I didn't use the most expensive paper and ink ( or nib for that matter) since I was unsure if I like it or not. I am also lefthanded, I have yet to find out if a regular pen is better or an angled one.
I'm very interested in typography and palæography, that's where I get my inspiration from. Well, the work of the gifted
played a big part, too.
Comments appreciated, I want to know where I can improve. The spacing and kerning need work for example. Licence is CC, as long as you credit Heine for the poem

You may trace also vertical line, or use for training a paper with horizontal & vertical line. I look to your other calligraphy, the main problem is that your letter lean to the right.
If you can't find a left-handed nib, you can file a right-handed one to have the good angle.
The bottom sherif are too big on the "M", "N".
I think you can make your capital letters a little bigger.
Space between letters & words are good, you can decrease the line spacing.
Your are on the good way, this is a good work.
