One Word Poem

Someone once told me that a poem can be as short as a single word.

It can be powerful, magnificent, and beautiful all at once and still only consist of one word.

It can be quiet, or brave, or sly all at once with whatever else you wish it to contain.

I wonder what word I would use in a poem like that.

For how can a single word mean so much and have so little to it?

How can it describe something so complex with something so small?

Then I remember the people I love.

One word is all it would take to remind me of everything they are.

A single word that contains so much that it is indescribable.

If I were to write a one word poem, it would contain the name of someone I love, and I would write as many poems as I could.
