Before the start of the poetry contest I was trying to write something to understand how it works for me

And of course I thought that poetry without rhymes are made easier because you don't need to seek for a rhyme, but when I tried I was surprised it isn't so! for me at least. It was difficult to make a necessary rhytm without a rhyme (especially if it's a foreign language, it's extremely hard, I though it would be easier-)

And now I have the same thing with your poems as I had with @rusty-jernigan music - when I wanted to try to make my own melody and started to study musical programms, I began to listen to his music from the point of view of an active listener - how he did this and that....-)

and the same is with you now-) I don't read only now, but I study and learn your poems as an example for me how to make mine-)
maybe it will help to fight difficulties I have faced being a non-native English speaker-)
