Note: My poem is a “Horatian Ode”
* A Horatian ode is a lyrical poem that expresses personal feelings or thoughts, often characterized by a calm and reflective tone. It typically follows a structured form and addresses philosophical themes such as love, nature, and morality, drawing inspiration from the works of the Roman poet Horace. This type of ode is known for its musicality and balance, making it distinct from other forms like the Pindaric ode.

Such a beautiful, heart-touching poem! Congrats on it’s writing and on it’s publication! 👁 You did a great job! Take a bow, Ivor! 🙂 It’s so obvious you’ve spent time with the moon. 🙂
That kind/form of poem seems like it would be a challenge. Mr. Horace was quite the poet.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
