    Expert Answer
    When crafting rhythms in poetry, I explore five types—random, regular, alternating, flowing, and progressive. For instance, in a random rhythm, a whispering breeze "tiptoes through the trees" in the quiet of the night. Internal rhymes, like "a chance encounter, a mystic romance" within the heart of the forest, add depth beyond end rhymes. These rhythmic choices, intertwined with meter, create a nuanced and engaging poetic experience.

    If you yourself don't understand Hindi, you will not be able to convey the emotions or message to your audience. So writing without knowing the language just seems to be meaningless.
