One line poems with titles (or is that cheating?):

 

 

 

Alzheimer's

 

A good head start.

Poem for McDonald's (after opening it's Moscow "restraurant."

 

If you can eat it here, you can eat it anywhere.

For my students:

 

Let's put the youth back in euthanasia.

Ode to Autumn

 

I change more light bulbs.

But there is a one word poem written by a San Francisco graffiti signer
(whatever they are called) which is one of the best of its kind. A whale had
beached itself on Ocean Beach and before an hour was up our poet had
spray-painted the dying whale with his tag: "Rat," proving once again that
the world itself is a poem. (And I wonder about the difficulties. Did he
have to dry a patch of the whale's body? Were the authorities in presence?
Where did he tag the whale? Etc. It's always nice knowing the biographical
details of great work.)
