He wrote poems for children, which were often playful, humorous, and sometimes macabre, reflecting the tone of his children's stories. These poems were collected in several volumes, including:
* Revolting Rhymes (1982) - A collection of twisted fairy tale poems.
* Dirty Beasts (1983) - A collection of poems about animals with a darkly humorous twist.
* The Enormous Crocodile (1978) - This children's book features some poems within the story.
While these collections show Dahl's talent for writing engaging and witty poetry, they are not considered major works in the world of poetry. His primary contribution to literature lies in his children's stories and short stories for adults.
