Hi. My name is Nick and this is
Poetry rules are universal:
rhyme, rhythm, structure.
You can feel poetry, and it has nothing to do with meaning.
Â
I pick a language which I absolutely don't know.
Then I choose my favorite book in this language.
I listen to hundreds of random words from the book.
At this stage, the meaning is still a mystery to me. I put words together to create a poem based what they sound like.
For every poem, I use a different poetry style,
from Romanticism to Futurism.
Â
Take a look at some of the poems and read the translation. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's philosophical.
