What is a Carpe Diem Poem?

A Carpe Diem poem is a literary work that seizes the day and appreciates the value of the present rather than being preoccupied with the past or the future. The phrase "Carpe Diem" originated from the poem Odes by the Roman poet Horace and has become synonymous with enjoying life to the fullest while we can. Carpe Diem poetry often reflects themes of appreciating life's pleasures, appreciating nature, savoring experiences, and making the most of opportunities. These poems frequently express a sense of urgency to fully embrace life and its gifts and not take them for granted.
