What constitutes a diminutive book of poems?

format
length of poems
number of pages
subject
tone
reader's prejudice?



Remember, there is nothing tiny about a clove of garlic. Nothing cute about a peppercorn.

    shivery lode the slinged supper

    all's called for in dis weather

    oft she dawdles tryin' to bestow

    a treasure in the dim's kitchen

    kinder bargain don't make it show

    little little little
