Short poems are enjoyable in a different way than long or middle-length ones. You don't have to read the Japanese haiku masters Basho or Buson, though they are incredible. For something more modern try Robert Davey's "
Bronze Age" from Sept. 2012, vol. 5 issue 9 of
4and20Poetry. This piece is great, it captures how haiku are still a form with incredible potential and can be really moving and eerie:
morning sun on
standing stones
the dark symbol in
the horse’s eye
