A very long time ago, I wrote a small number of poems in French. None of them seemed to me successful. I did it because I thought it might be fun to try; and it was.
Even longer ago, as a schoolboy, I was taught to write Latin hexameters and elegiac couplets. As Susan says, It was once part of regular instruction for people learning Latin to be taught how to write poetry in it. I was one of those. I could not do it now; I could barely do it then; but yes I found it fun.
