how long

hey, how long does a poem have to be before it is considered a poem, because most of my poems are only about 8 lines long... should these become quotes?

A poem can basically be however short or long you want it to be. And like Mike said, just look at like a haiku.

well, a poem can be as long as u think it needs to be. it doesn't necissarily have to be very long...for instance, a Haiku is still a poem....so...poems can be however long

a poem can be 3 lines long. i think it is a poem if you consider it one. and 8 lines is a damn long quote

a Poem Can Be As Short Or Long As You Please, There Is No True Definiton On What Poetry Has To Be, Or How Long....Poetry Is Poetry, Whether Its One Line Or 5, Its a Form Of Art That Comes From The Heart.....xoxo-Nikki-xoxo

Nikki you should quote that last line.
"A form of art, that comes from the heart."

lol ye.. many times. =P

it doesnt matter how long it is...
just until you've made your point

You can usually tell when yoour poem has come to a end.

It doesn`t matter what the size .
I have a habit of writing EXTREMELy LONG poems . There are few that are short, and a lot of people say my poems are long . I`m trying to cut out of the habit but it just keeps coming back =.=

me, i usually write short poems, i dont think there is a certain length a poem should be to be a poem.

I believe that a poem can be any length and still be considered a poem.

i write short poems all the time,. a poem can be as little as 6 lines long. infact, the shorter it is the better bc it is harder 2 write short poems as u hav 2 fits lots a meaning into very few lines so well done!
