I went to an AWESOME book reading by Carole Maso (read her works! They are AWESOME!!) Ms. Maso manages to combine poetry and a great story all in one, and touches on interesting topics.
In much the same way, Horace is able to combine a fascinating story, and occasionally advice, with poetry. I loved, for instance, how Horace was able to create a fine poem about his and Pompeius' friendship and time in the military; I also liked the dialogue between Horace and Lydia in 3.9.
All in all, props to both poets/writers :)
