MONOSTICH - 2 reference results
Monostich
A monostich is a poem which consists of a single line.
The following is an example:

'Skunks,' the squirrel said, 'are sent to try us.'

Ralph Hodgson

A monostich could be also titled; due to the brevity of the form, the title is invariably as important a part of the poem as the verse itself:

COWARD
Bravery runs in my family.

A. R. Ammons
