I'm really enjoying your exploring of different rhyme schemes, it adds so much depth! keep up the great work c:
Well, this poem doesn't rhyme because it was originally written in German and is only a translation. Unfortunately, that's an issue with all translations - all the rhymes and some of the energy of the original lyrics are lost. But I'm glad you nevertheless appreciated it. I think the essence of the message is still preserved and understandable :)
Have a great day/evening :)

as much as it being a translation could be an issue, I think it gives the poem more character, a sense of origin almost, that it's retained across language barriers. I do very much enjoy reading translated poems myself, so I don't think that detracts from it at all!
you too c:

Hm, well, I just think it's always advantageous to understand a poem in the language where it was originally written because mistakes can always happen in a translation and since I'm a rhyme fetishist, all the rhymes get lost... which personally bothers me a lot :D lol... but I'm glad you can cope with it. I mean, I did my best to translate everything as accurately as possible :)
Thanks again for the positive response!
