Do you think translating poetry (vs technical documentation) is easy?

Poetry is so often cultural, and deals why certain things like rhyme and meter which influences that. It can be translated easily - the hard part is trying to keep all the cultural connotations of a word and the structure of the poem.

It really depends on one's knowledge/skill/experience in a particular field, so there's no "vs".
