[1] Ezra Pound's "In a Station of the Metro" is a verbless poem of fourteen words: Afanasy Fet produced two other classics of the genre: "Storm in the evening sky" (Буря на небе вечернем, 1842) and "Whisper, timid breathing" (Шепот, робкое дыханье, 1850).
[2] Otto Jespersen observed that the absence of verbs can give "a very definite impression of motion.
"[3] It has been called "poetry without any dress, without ornament".
