Poems, like all writings, are born of specific languages unique in culture, grammar, sound, and more.
This is why poetry translation is complex, subjective, and endlessly debated.
Homer's Odyssey continues to get translated...

GOLDEN BRIDLE
With it, you'll tame
a Pegasus,
slay many-headed
fire-breathers,
become heroic
--but, beware!
Delusion disobeys
those reins,
and it may say
you're godly now.
That will be where
your war begins.

THE BIGGEST BIN
It won't accept our history,
much less what better years we lost
to months of Sundays worrying
and edgy Wednesdays wondering,
the hour doubting everything,
whole moments broken up by lies,
or instants crushed and dumped by love.

"Crossroads" is one of my guitar instrumentals people have enjoyed over the years.
Almost all of my music is improvisational, building and building, up to the final measure.

Sara Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rains"
poets.org/poem/there-w...
lures us into a seemingly safe nature poem.
Then, in volta-like fashion, tone shifts.
Pastoral turns piercing, profound.
Nature's peace shrugs off wars, humans.
Life continues calmly.

Exploring new techniques and topics is vital if we want to keep growing as poets, musicians, or artists.
As audiences discover and follow us, we may be tempted to "play it safe" by creating more towards what we feel is expected of us.
That can be severely limiting.

To me, #respect is essential in a poet's journey.
Self-respect, yes, but also respect for...
+ other poets
+ readers
+ words
+ what you write about
+ the craft of poetry
+ communities
+ cultures
+ perspectives
+ interpretations
+ persons new to poetry
Respect fosters advancement.

I think one of the better pieces of advice I offer to developing poets inviting my insights is
READ OTHER POETS.
If they ask me why, I ask them to ask themselves
"WHY (AS A POET) SHOULD I READ POETRY?"
or
"WHY SHOULD OTHER POETS READ MY POETRY?"
Most try finding reasons fast. 😉

Rigoberto Gonzalez's poem "The Luna Moth Has No Mouth" is great for many reasons.
e.g.: after the opening biological fact, it gets creative, shifts attention, then transcends its mouthless metaphor to voice a deeper message.
So good!

![THE TITLE OF THE POEM:
At the Exhibitions of the Vacant Frames
THE POEM:
Huge spaces where no painting finds your eyes,
but we'd meet frames [ gigantic plastic frames ]
of varied angles, different thicknesses,
each one revealing and surrounding things
and people wandering or looking through,
perhaps observing someone waving back
and frowning or laughing unexpectedly.
We weren't masterpieces then, more like
the bleary wearied painters being watched.
You couldn't really call it portraiture,
since no one sat too long or stood to be
immortalized as gimmick art that day.
We'd search for doorways, any EXIT sign
that let us return to our realer worlds.
Outside, bold OPEN signs [ behind dense panes
reflecting failing lights ] met tired minds
oblivious to nightly ironies
through city shopping blocks of mockery,
where winning windows draw you into wares
and let you stare and catch your mirrored face
as thoughts get lost in costly spectacles.
THE END OF THE POEM.
