Micro-poetry is extremely short poetry. It is very popular on Twitter.
Here is a link describing it: What is Micropoetry?
Micro-poetry challenges you to exercise word economy.
Here is some of my micro-poetry:
-----
I remember my father
standing before the reaper
gray haired & leaning on a cane
in his eyes the future shined.
-----
His mind was quick,
his hands were strong.
In the wild he would be
the wolf but here, sitting
in the bank, he was the rabbit.
-----
The opulent night
pours down
around and through the trees
Here he sees
nothing to fear
other than dark thoughts
-----
Moonlit frozen fields
under vast Montana night.
No power lines, street signs,
or neon lights to witness
the crystal dance.
----
Daylight steals
the poetry
night reveals
----
Words fill their wine cups
as they are blown away
on a pondering wind.
