John Fleming November 1, 2015 at 2:20 PM Yes indeed...I gather that. The trouble with Latin is it is such an Inflected language. Is your poem based on an a certain individuals grappling with some sort of internal struggle that he finally resolves by unifying both body and mind? Interesting poem, John. My best regards! :) john John Beam November 1, 2015 at 2:29 PM Yes, the point is inflection proper English vs poetical license and proper meter and so on. yes, a struggle writing to please or pleased to write. I am pleased just to write. thanks for comments and sharing your thoughts

John Fleming November 1, 2015 at 1:45 PM Hhmmm, undoubtedly Latin. I understand two thirds of it...But need the translator to totally enlighten. Back in a tick! :) john John Beam November 1, 2015 at 2:19 PM it is about writing for the love of poetry. no matter who is your critic John Beam November 1, 2015 at 2:13 PM Sic Stet Amor - so stand love Sic may also be used derisively, to call attention to the original writer's spelling mistakes or erroneous logic Stet is a form of the Latin verb sto, stare, steti, statum,[1] originally used by proofreaders and editors John Beam November 1, 2015 at 1:57 PM i.e not grammatically correct John Beam November 1, 2015 at 1:55 PM Yes a short latin poem based mostly original definitions with some English usage
