What's the shortest poem you've ever written that you still think is legit complete/finito

[Calm Charlotte]

Mine is four words: door left slightly open. Took longer to decide it was complete than most of my longer poems combined

[NoMercyElliot54]

Mine is a single line: the porch light stayed on. Cut an entire stanza around it before realizing the line alone said everything

[Amy_15]

Three words for me: still setting places. Wrote a whole grief poem first and this line survived every single edit that followed

[Sentry]

Five words: his coat, still on the hook. Everything else I wrote around it felt like explaining a joke after the punchline

[TeaAndCode72]

One line: we kept the extra chair. Took months before I trusted that a single sentence could hold that much weight on its own

[Zoe90]

Four words: the garden forgot him too. Wrote it during a difficult year and never felt the need to add anything else

[Shark]

Six words: two cups, one still full, waiting. The full version had three more stanzas that all felt like padding once I cut them

[DarkLantern]

A single word repeated three times on its own line: still. still. still. Everything I tried adding around it made it worse, not better
