... I like, I think your version is the more poetic, it's very smooth. It's difficult to make poems in my language sound balanced, and I suppose the language was designed to be somewhat coarse, so I tend to replace the repetitive/cohesive function of tone and rhyme with other verbal devices, like repeating certain words or forming descriptive loops.
