I feel you ,Anne :) it's a struggle for me who has a different language. English rhymes is a big challenge forever...what matters most is we put our heart in every poem that we create. Loves _ Aiyah :O)

I am sure that is true in any translation from one language othe other,,a poem does not have to rhyme,,although that is my favorite kind,,it only needs to say something with feeling and emotions and or tell something by showing it with words,,,a wonderful poem my friend and Thank You for reading and leaving your words behind,,,Blessings..Cecil

I fancy myself as a Poet. What's more I let everyone know it. For writing in Norse, please show no remorse. I know if I tried - I would blow it!

This must be a difficult position to be in. Truthfully, good poetry does not require rhyme though and oft benefits from the lack of it. This for example is excellent because of the emotion behind it, frustration, a bit of melancholy is all evident. I attempted a poem or two in Latin and I can somewhat sympathize with the difficulty of trying to get rhymes to work in a language other than your native. Good stuff though, thanks for reading my poems as well!

Awesome, shows the differences in languages and how it can interpret the way the poem flows. Plus free verse and lyrics are so much more fun hehe.

I love this piece. I have the same experience at times. I have to ransack my brain for the forms of poetry. My forte is free verses Anne Lise but I am agonizingly self-educating myself. Nice read for me this morning. I need to go out and SHOP! I may be able to get good deals on a day after Christmas day. Greetings to you in Norway. Love Dalila

Do you live in Norway? I usually don't rhyme and I am a native English speaker. Most modern poets avoid rhyme these days. Yours Matthew Anish

Oh, I should say your 'The Rhymes Are Gone' is very well written. For me it was wonderful to hear that someone else out there has trepidation and or is writing even though there is some doubt as to how their piece will be received. In other words; your words poetic encourage me, okay... clay (:D))
