Vivamus, moriendum est.

Vivamus, moriendum est.

Let us live, since we must die
Less the joy of life should pass us by
A gentle breeze, a summers day
Snowball fights on a winters sleigh
Warm laughter, friends, a lovers kiss
Good memories made to reminisce
Life’s not a choice to wonder why
Just let us live, since we must die.

That poem says everything about living life to the fullest in in so few beautiful words. Bravo, Tallisman, you have done it again! A most worthy short story star of the day!

Hey Tallisman,
I came for the Latin, and stayed for the Poem. LOL. In my Seminary days, I could read the Punic Wars in Latin, now I can't even read a quarter. but the title caught my eye. The Poem, well, that was a super plus. All of those experiences are ones I have shared. Short but powerful.

Smiles, Kevin

Hey Talisman,
It works okay with the way it is. But you brought up exactly why I can't write poetry. A good enough word isn't good enough, it has to be the perfect word, or phrase. And that takes effort, thought, and editing!

Also, they call Latin a dead language, but it’s so ingrained in other languages it cannot die!

Thanks Kevin, I have some more like this! Just realised I didn’t correct line 4! Should have been changed to “snowball fights from a winters sleigh”, oh well….
