You took all the further questions from my hands. Just a small note:
Köpek (onu) çizmeden önce kapıyı boyuyordu.
Use not the pronoun but noun always close to the predicate..and without onu the sentence sounds better+
So many times I have been wondering this: can the pronoun refer to the right in the sentence? These problems occur when you change the word order into Turkish. Now there is a rule to follow.
Every learner who has tried translating into the language she is learning knows that behind every choice there is a small story. One of the stories of this sentence is about choosing the right word for ´scratching´. It was a success.
The small victory of this week is understanding tenses and progressive forms a little bit better.

I tried a poem this time. Just an old song, no high culture. The things I thought about the most were about general reference of nouns. I tried to follow two principals: the model of Gülü seven diketine katlanır and the normal ruling of suspended affixation. If there was a certain model in my mistakes I´d be glad even to edit the text further myself, given some hints.
If you love
If you love the cold moon items, book covers car doors, the shell of human I won´t come to the seaside with you and I won´t draw your picture in the sand.
If you love windows silver pints, sable furs a guest book with a leather back I´ll smile at you from across the street but I won´t go to a fancy place with you to eat goose breast.
If you love sailing travels to faraway lands, the Canary Islands you´ll go away and I´ll stay here And I will reminisce you without missing the morning when the wind blew in my hair and took away the picture of you.
If you love banknotes I´ll help you to get rid of them and I´ll give you everything you want But I won´t give you my heart.
If you love books too much I´ll ask you what will happen to me when you know me from cover to cover and my storylines won´t interest you anymore and you´ll know everything by heart.
If you love little girls little girls, little boys dogs, grannies, spinsters salad and celery root roast mutton, spring mornings lonely men at cold stations I´ll come to the seaside with you And I´ll draw, I´ll draw your picture in the sand.
Seversen
Soğuk ay, eşya, kitap kapağı, araba kapısı, insanın zahirini seversen, seninle deniz kıyısına gelip resmini kuma çizmeyeceğim.
Pencere, gümüş kupa, samur kürkü, deri sırtlı konuk defterini seversen, sokağın karşısına gülümseyip de seninle hayal bir yere kaz göğsü yemeye gitmeyeceğim.
Denize açılma, uzak ülkeye yolculuk, Kanarya adalarını seversen, sen git burada kalacağım ve seni rüzgarın saçlarımda esip resmini götürdüğü sabahı özlemeden hatırlarım.
Papeli seversen sana ondan kurtulmaya yardım edip her istediğin şeyi vereceğim, yüreğimi değil.
Kitabı çok seversen beni başından sonuna kadar bildiğin hikayem ilgisini artık çıkmadığı her şeyi ezberden okurduğun gün sana ne olacağımı soracağım.
Küçük kız, küçük çocuk, köpek, büyükanne, yaşlı kızlar, salatayla kereviz koyun kızartma, ilkbahar sabahını, soğuk istasyonlardaki yalnız adamlar seversen, seninle deniz kıyısına geleceğim ya ve kuma resmini çizeceğim, resmini kuma çizeceğim.

May I ask why the accusative -i is added to the last noun but not to the others?

Because after giving it a long thought that´s the conclusion I came into. And I still can´t see what is wrong with it.

I mean I thought when there is a list of nouns with the same endings you can or even had better save them to the end...
My voice is getting smaller and smaller.

I was just looking for the rule from a book. Did you see through the screen?
Are you serious, should I repeat the accusative in every noun of the list? And the same thing with plural -ler? Lerlerlerlerlerlerlerler.

Seversen (Seviyorsan)
Soğuk ayı, eşyaları, kitap kapaklarını, araba kapılarını, insanın zahirini görüntüsünü seversen seviyorsan, seninle deniz kıyısına gelip resmini kuma çizmeyeceğim.
Pencereleri, gümüş kupaları, samur kürkleri, deri sırtlı konuk defterini seversen seviyorsan, sokağın karşısından gülümseyecekip de fakat seninle hayali bir yere kaz göğsü yemeye gitmeyeceğim.
1. Why aorist? Why seversen but not seviyorsan?
2. When there is a conjunction such as ama, fakat, lakin, ancak -ip suffix is weird to use.. in this type of sentences it is good to use the same tense with each verb, I should think..
