I guess that's one way of looking at it, Hal.  But I think implicit in 
the idea of one-word poems is the idea of maximally condensed poems.  I 
would add that my second thought is that there may well be a lot of new 
things that can be done with such poems, especially using animation.  
Also, like any other form, it will surely go into obscurity for a while, 
then be re-discovered.
