Alcaic 

Out in the deep wood, silence and darkness fall, Down through the wet leaves the October mist; No sound, but only a blackbird scolding, Making the mist and the darkness listen.

A group of my friend's high school friends came up for the weekend, and we all got drunk, which resulted in three of them playing bass, guitar, and the melodica in one room while I was sitting in the other by myself strumming on one guy's ukulele  trying to remember the beat of the Alcaic and Sapphic meters used in Horace.
