Summary/Abstract: By researching the means and techniques of writing, the intersections of the poetic epigram with the lyrical poetry and sketched quickly, almost improvised, kept notes in the form of a meticulous tachygraphic one, through this study explores a particular trend in the poetry of Xhevahir Spahiu. In contrast to the other poetic structures of the author, “Shkurtimat” enriches not only his creativity but also prosody in the Albanian language. Contrary to what has been noticed, the article proposes another starting calendar for Xhevahir Spahiu's mini poetry as well as another chronological order in their development. The work also follows the author's path of transforming a short and sharp form of expression into a special poetic minigenre, as well as the transformation of modelling into an aesthetic concept. Everything is put in the frame and the background of a short history of miniature poetry in Albania, to come to the special and rare case of the poet Xhevahir Spahiu.
