Many people n especilly who do not know English or just heard of it think there is no poetry I mean rhymed poetry as what we got n Arabic. due to the translation of some poems they read , n my opinion translation killing the music of the poetry , I don't wanna talk haphazardly , so let's have a few lines from one of the greatest Shakespeare's poem (sonnet)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

الترجمة
أأشبهك بيوم صائف؟
ولكنك أجمل و أكثر إعتدالاً.

as you see now it does not bell that much couse of the huge diffreneces between Engish & Arabic n so many levels such as History, Weather, & Geographical reason.
Each one of these differences needs a huge effort to clarify its relationship to our main point ,however, as quick explanation we can take the theme of weather which affects directly n this poem . n Europe & particulary England the clouds blocks the sunshine so people are not able to see the sun except few days n the year, , that gives us the reason n how much does the summer day mean to them.
