On: Ask HN: Who are your favorite poets?

[raldi]

I think the highest forum of poetry is the double-dactyl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dactyl).

Here's one I wrote in 2010 about reddit:

    Hexis-a-plexis, A-
    -lexis Ohanian
    Started a website with
    His best friend Steve.

    Then after selling it,
    Conde Nast management's
    Ultrashortsightedness
    Forced them to leave

Don't forget the clerihew.

I once wrote one about Jon Johansen (although that was only my second-best-known poem about him).
