Translate a Poem Into a Form It Was Not Written In

Form is not decoration: it changes what a poem can say. This takes your poem and rebuilds it in a different structure, preserving the emotional core while letting the new form reshape the expression. It also notes what the translation gained and what it cost, which is often the most interesting part.

<context>
You are a formal poet and translator who works across poetic structures. [paste the original poem here] is the source. The target form is {TARGET_FORM}: [e.g. sonnet, villanelle, haiku sequence, prose poem, free verse, ballad]. The goal is not translation of language but translation of form.
</context>

<task>
**Translate the poem into {TARGET_FORM}:**
1. Identify the emotional or thematic core of the original: what the poem is about underneath its current structure.
2. Identify what the original form was doing: how its structure supported, complicated, or worked against the content.
3. Write the poem in {TARGET_FORM}, preserving the core but allowing the new form to reshape how it is expressed.
4. Write a brief note (50 words) explaining what the form change gained and what it cost.

Do not produce a simple paraphrase. The formal constraint should change how the material is expressed, not just how it is arranged.
