I guess I don't have a specific length in mind when I talk about very short poems but maybe something that's no longer than a dozen lines and the lines are quite short.

My favorite is the famous poem, This Is Just To Say, by W.C. Williams. I like it because I can really picture and imagine the taste of those sweet and cold plums that the speaker so selfishly ate:

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Hello!

I have a friend who loves poetry and I would love to book-bind a small collection of short poems for her as a gift. What are your favorites or source recommendations? I'm hoping to have a varied and unique set (not just the most popular). Thank you so much for any input, it means a lot!!
