I really like this poem. I love short meter because a) You're forced to capture your idea with little room, b)I can grasp greater concepts due to it's tempo, c) I feel strength comes in small packages. A chap book with poems like this could keep me engaged. Maybe it's my short attention span.
I really like this too. Someone I think you'd really enjoy reading, if you haven't, is Lorine Niedecker. She did a lot of lyric that was similarly both minimalistic and richly sensual.

Kasey, I do enjoy Lorin Niedecker. Thanks for pointing her out. She makes lovely portraits.
