roses are red

violets are blue

the hell is a dactylic hexameter

dunno, do you?

Did you guys ever hear of Homerus? Or Ovid? Or Livy? Or Pliny? Or (almost) any Roman or Greek poet? It was the most used style up to the 18th century. 

 

Thanks

Mine was actually 18 syllables long. I spent the time to look up what it was beforehand.
