Just curious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
As the first person mentioned, there's the Couplet!. One interesting form of the couplet is the Poetic Epigram!.

There is also a Chinese two-line form called the Duilian!. The Couplet article in the Wikipedia also mentions several other Asian and Indian forms of two-line poetry!.

And here's an interesting fact about haiku: In Japanese, they are usually written as one vertical column!.When Japanese haiku is written in kanji in an English book on haiku (such as a book of translated Japanese haiku), it is usually written as one horizontal line!.
