Amour Honestus by Edward Hirsch.
This is such a fun poem to read. It's a ghazal (rhymes and repetition). It's set during medieval times and is about love. Perhaps, it is a bit vexing that in all forms of love there are such hellish difficulties. Is it really that bad? This poem seems to say that honest love is complicated, difficult and entrancing. That it is hellish yet compelling. 'Suppose that's apt.
Favorite line: "Why bring it up? Just for the hell of it."
