Epigram

A very short, witty poem:
"Sir, I admit your general rule,/That every poet is a fool,/But you yourself may serve to show it,/That every fool is not a poet." -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The most common forms are written as a couplet —
a pair of rhymed lines in the same meter such as:

"The heart is the only workman
we cannot excuse."
- Emily Dickinson
