The examined corpuses contain such poetic short forms that have no unified terminology, thus have not been widely dealt with, neither in the light of the poets\u2019 oeuvres, nor from a contrastive perspective. Present essay deals with the reception and the problematics of genre. Furthermore, a\u00a0linguistic and poetic contrastive analysis is made on the corpuses. Last but not least, the paper deals with the relationship between these short poems and their impact.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
