    Lightbulb The Most Difficult Poem Ever to be Written?

    For me it has to 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante.
    The question I want to ask is this

    1) should a poem be lengthy ( like a book) and ambigeous at the same time?

    or

    2) One or the other but not both because it is not right for the reader ?

    Got your tenses wrong Nacian, your question asks for an answer to something that hasn't been written yet... You needed a to have been written. Either way, it is an unanswerable question.

    Do you mean that 'The Divine Comedy' is The Most Difficult Poem Ever to be Written?

    A poem should be laconic and the lines should not be too long.
