(Poem #211 on new numbering scheme)
Pues iba caminando yo, de paso raudo fui. Me devoró la oscuridad. Así permanecí.
This is a poem written in English ballad meter. It’s not so easy to write a poem in Spanish using this English metrical pattern. In particular, although Spanish possesses clear stressed and unstressed syllables, natural Spanish rhythms are strongly trochaic, so forcing it into an iambic line is quite awkward.
