I want to describe a yet unnamed form of poetry.
These are poems about personal experiences of everyday life situations e.g. a strawberry social, cleaning out the basement, a charity golf game, a childhood experience. They are very detailed descriptions and commentaries....almost journalism in verse, journalistic poetry.
What short latin phrase would apply? I thought of situ and poetice but am not experienced enough to sew it together. Often it is easier to translate from the intent than from a suggested title. Thanks for your help, Bryan
@bryan Cook,
How about camenae situum.........muses or poems of places?
@bryan Cook,
For "songs of places". I'd recommend
carmina locorum.
