[New-Poetry] One-sentence poems

[Alan C Golding]

There's lots of examples in Whitman, David, esp. in *Calamus* and
*Drum-Taps*--In Paths Untrodden, Recorders Ages Hence, When I Heard at
the Close of the Day, Here the Frailest Leaves of Me, I Dream'd in a
Dream to name a few in the former volume, and Cavalry Crossing a Ford,
Vigil Strange, A March in the Ranks Hard-Prest, Reconciliation in the
latter.  And some of his most famous short poems, like When I Heard the
Learn'd Astronomer and Dalliance of the Eagles.

I bet Dickinson wrote a lot of them too (off the top of my head I can
think of "Presentiment is that long shadow in the grass").  Though what
counts as a sentence in ED is a matter of some conjecture.
