Tame Coffin Must Set Sail

He left here shorter.

She stayed away smaller.

therefore, the only way to create an even shorter poem is to work outside the box. the shortest poem is a poem without words in it with a title that is one syllable.

but we can go even shorter!!!

a poem in a chapter that has no title and no words in it is the shortest poem in the world.

BUT WE CAN GO SHORTER!!!

a book with no chapter titles in it that contains a poem without a title and no words in it.

EVEN MORE!!

A book with no title, that has no chapter titles, containing a poem without a title and has no words in it.

EVEN:

A library holding a book with no title, that has no chapter titles, containing a poem with out a title and has no words in it.

I did not consider how the discussion around this wordless poem would inadvertently increase its length. A poem with no words in it that is never commented on is the shortest poem in the world.
