I actually got these:

It isn't a poem
Non curo. Si metrum non habet, non est poema.
"I don't care. If it doesn't rhyme, it isn't a poem."
You are a type A personality. You like bright
things, you don't call in sick to work, and you
have devastating opinions about art.

If you only knew the power of the dark side.
Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.
"You do not know the power of the Dark
Side." There are two possibilities: you
are a Star Wars geek, or you are unreasoningly
scary.



And I really just liked these:

Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?
"Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just glad to see me?"

Lagunculae leydianae non accedunt.
"Batteries not included."

Volo anaticulum cumminosam meam!
"I want my rubber ducky!"

Ah, but you see, we're talking Latin here, and if, as you say, rhyme being anything other than meter is a modern phenomenon, then why would there be any other way to say it in Latin?

That's just the point, there wouldn't be.
Unless you want to be overly technical, and translate the phrase "If there is not correspondance in the terminal sound, it's not a poem."
