QuoteThen I realized how hard it is to stick to rhythm and rhyme scheme!! JJElbert has risen even further in my respect for his writing!!
I'm blushing...😄
These are lovely! In his Ars Poetica, Horace writes (and I paraphrase) that good verse reads so effortlessly that the reader fancies he could take it in hand as easily himself. Only by attempting it does he learn his mistake.
It's hard to make it look easy! Feel free to drop these lines in the Poetry Megathread, and the more the merrier. With luck, we might inspire a future Epicurean poet more talented than any of us–and when that day comes, that's when we honor Horace, Lucretius and Epicurus!
