Here's a little background:
My professor gave us a document of 50 short poems to read. He said collecting those poems was a project that he was working on for a long time, and he was hoping to get to 100 someday.
Next time in class, he asked us our thoughts and I sassily said that some of the poems weren't very short in my opinion. He said something along the lines of, "Well originally I wanted them to be under 14 lines, but that was too hard, so I extended it to 14, and then a few of them are past even that. But I'd like to see you do better."
And so of course I kind of rose to the challenge to see if I could find 50 good poems under 14 lines in a single night. And I flippin did. (I did end up reusing 6 of the poems he found just because they were so good, which is why this is a collection of only 94 short poems, but if I'd wanted to be totally unique I could have.)
Anyway, he was very pleased with what I had done, and I just thought I'd share this collection here, because I think it's a really informative and educational source!
Hope you guys enjoy! Feel free to discuss your favorites and why, or share your own favorite short poems!
Also, shout out to the poem of the week thread! I took quite a few of the poems I added from there!
