English: Are the following five sentences natural and normal?

2018-02-06 10:44 pm
1. What the poetry is is lost in translation.
2. What the poetry shows is lost in translation.
3. What the poetry presents is lost in translation.
4. What the poetry tells is lost in translation.
5. What the poetry divulges is lost in translation.
What these sentences are trying to say is while poetry is translating into another language, it always lose its essence.
I am an English learner, I can’t sure all the above five sentences written by my friend sound natural and normal.
Your answer, explanations or corrections will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

A poem's sense and meaning are often lost in translation.

The sentences you've offered are really rather awkward, especially the first one.
