Мир рисую

Russian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Ну, а ты, что нового в судьбе?
Мир рисую – счастлива вполне.
Здорово! А я стихи пишу.
А про что?
Про то, что вижу, чем дышу.
Время поджимает,
Надо расходиться,
А так хочется еще многим поделиться.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Alexander Somin

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

prose vs poem The clear thing in here is the first speaker does the thing which differs from the activity of the second speaker.
It also might be:
The first speaker (she) might write proses. She uses the word to picture the world.
Or
the literal meaning:
explores the world as an artist.
IrinaN Dec 10, 2018:
IMHO, This is an exchange between someone who creates visual images and someone who writes poetry. Whether she does drawing/sketching on paper or, say, by computer graphics, is not important.
Gulnaz Mukhametdinova Dec 9, 2018:
"Is he actually sketching on paper? Or describing it using poetry?"
In my opinion, it's definitely not describing the world using poetry.
It's not quite clear, there is a kind of confrontation between two speakers expressed in the phrase "А я стихи пишу".
The first speaker is a lady (adjective "счастлива"), who is happy with what she is doing (drawing/depicting/sketching the world). The word "запечатлевать" could be another word for "рисовать". The other one (he/she) is composing poems
Mikhail Kropotov Dec 9, 2018:
It's unclear.
Also, the speaker is a she.
Leigh Mosley (asker) Dec 9, 2018:
But what does "drawing the world" mean??? Is he actually sketching on paper? Or describing it using poetry? Or simply observing the world around him? Or maybe it's just not clear, but this is the essence of my original question.
Egor Shapurov Dec 9, 2018:
I dunno, nothing I guess. I am happy I do not have to translate any poetry.
The Misha Dec 9, 2018:
Hard to impossible? It says the world, doesn't it? What's so difficult about that, "newspeak" or not?

Egor Shapurov Dec 9, 2018:
"Мир" is a typical Newspeak word which is hard to impossible to translate if you ask me. I would go for 'drawing'.
Mikhail Kropotov Dec 9, 2018:
"I draw the world" or "I paint the world"
