This is an actual poem written by Mohammed Ali the boxer, it is the worlds smallest work to be classified as a 'Poem"
here it is:
----------
Me,
We.
----------
Hope you liked it :D
the meaning behind it is deep. Mohammed Ali said this poem to denote that - when he was in the ring it was not just him fighting it was all of his fans as well. And that his strength came from the power of his fans. I.e. me = we.
cool huh?

Greetings,
That's brilliant! I've never heard of that one before. Does it have a title?
Great poems by everyone else too!
Poems can really be anything you want them to be. They don't even need to rhyme. Guillaume Apollinaire used to write poems where the lines were arranged to form pictures; Gertrude Stein wrote one which had the words "a rose is a rose is a rose..." going round in a circle infinitely.
Here's a short one that's quite famous, by the American poet Ezra Pound:
In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
That's it. It's a bit like a Japanese
haiku: a single image presented simply and briefly.
Still not as short as Muhammad Ali's one though!
Peace
