Poems that you love

[Truerenigma]

Dizzy

I set out to sea to design some dizains;
To seize them in dozens I sailed,
But, lulled by the lap of the sea's refrains
Of the lap of the mermaid I toiled and tailed
For the tits I would doze on and lap, I failed.
A grizzled old man, I returned with ghazals
Of gazelles that I gazed while I guzzled with pals
On their grazing and dozing and frolicking free,
For I have no disdain for dizains, only mals,
And I gruesome what sick when I guzzled at sea.

Dennis Hammes

I had almost forgotten how, for someone who was primarily by and large such a big advocate for formal poetry, he would deviate so far from the norm, to push the limits of what poetry could do, even as doggerel and nonsense. (I'm actually seasick.)
