GOLDEN LINE

WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?
Quantula terribili compono carmina nisu!
How small are the poems I’m producing with frightful effort!

INSPIRATION IS ALL VERY WELL, BUT… (Elegiac Couplet)
“Gramen edit avide mea vacca poemate bello”
   Sic insignia iners plurima tiro capit

“My cow eagerly eats grass in a pretty poem”
   This is the way a lazy beginner gets lots of stickers

METRICAL HAIKU

DIVINE INTERVENTION
Docti sodales,
quam lepide loquimur,
Baccho juvante.

Learned comrades,
how delightfully we speak
when Bacchus is helping.
