Poetry by language?

Presión por aprender.
Learning Spanish my mind tender.

Pasión por aprender.
Some rhymes in the blender.

Anhelo impresiones aprendidas.
Feeling mellow with splendor.

Así, un poema complete.
Revealing poetry secreto.

Está listo para leer.
Spanish with English shows no fear.

Poetry writing or appreciation* are not skills I possess.
Trying to do it in a non-native language... The thought makes my skin creep.
* There are a few exceptions but most poetry leaves me cold.

Sure you can use more than one language in a poem :)
I wrote a poem in French long ago, when I was learning the conditional tense...

Si j'etais riche, je t'acheterais des fleurs.
Si je pourrais, je te reverais le monde.
Je ne suis que pauvre, je n'ai pas le monde.
Ainsi je te donnerais ma coeur.

In the last line donc would fit the meaning better than ainsi, but then it doesn't scan as well.
