Is any metric respected (or attempted to)? From what I can quickly see the verses don't seem to be hendecasyllables, but I don't really know how to count that in English :) Anyway, not a complain, it looks like a great effort!

doesn't seem so, and AFAICT rhyming isn't respected either, but I think trying to fit metric, rhyme, and meaning would be nearly impossible.

Rhyme is not respected, but I guess that's really impossibile. Metric should be "easier" than rhyme, but I totally agree - meaning first.
