After so many years of English, I am afraid to attempt writing a poem in this language so I applaud your courage in writing in Spanish. Since language is for communication, I could write a poem in English but it may not communicate everything properly; and may be misunderstood. This is because I do not yet feel all emotions conveyed in English poetry (hence do not know the transfer methods). In Armenian (my native language) I can live poetry; I can "see", "understand" and "be" the poet. When writing a poem, I can try to convey the same (condensed) package to others. Very interesting to hear that you wanted to attempt writing poems in Spanish. Assuming your native language is English, do you write poetry in English? Gabriel – thank you for visiting.

It was an interesting experience. The conjugations gave me a lot of room to rhyme words together. You realize how lyrical the language can be.
