The One Word Poem

The prosaic and poetic one-word poem has a single word as its title or topic. One- to four-line poems are typical. These poems’ one-word length may be a strength or a weakness. The poet must carefully examine tone and rhythm, which cannot be surrendered for content or symbolism, in such shortness. Any poet’s challenge. — The One Word That Connects Us All

you remain
always in the mist,
walking towards me,
your umbrella unfurled.

Transparent,
mirrored
as your eyes
and the smile of rain.
It is not the rain,
it is not your umbrella.
It is not you.
