Stanza XII of Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens is the shortest one in the poem, at only nine words, but those are nine effectively used words! GIF and composition by me. Nearly there! But here’s where we’ve been:  I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, and XI.  Read the whole poem here.
