1 sentence - is it correct, please?
Dear Teachers,
Could you let me know, please, if this sentence is correct:
Many poems of our country and of foreign ones…
I want to avoid using “countries” twice. Thank you.

It is not a complete sentence, so it cannot be a correct sentence. Do you mean poems about countries, or poems written by poets from different countries?

Dear AlpheccaStars,
I meant poems from the pen of poets of those countries. To finish the sentence:
Many poems of our country and of foreign ones have been inspired by a longing for far-away places.
Is the sentence okay? Thank you.

AnonymousMany poems of our country and of foreign ones have been inspired by a longing for far-away places.Yes, it's fine. But I would assume that "poems of our country" would be nationalistic poems.
Use "poets" instead of "poems."
Many poets, no matter what country they are from, have been inspired by a longing for far-away places.
