Re: What is the world's shortest poetry?
I wonder what's the world's longest poem ^^ some of those ancient poems tended to be quite long. Norse mythology was written in poem and some of them could span for pages after pages.
I found this while searching for the world's longest poem: https://github.com/idevelop/longest-poe ... -the-world
An arguably infinitely long poem O.o
As long as Twitter exists and people write rhyming tweets, there will be additions to this, although of course it won't be coherent. But very interesting that you can get a theoretically infinite poem.
