Hi Virginia,
I am sorry my response is too late, I don't check this e-mail often.
I would suggest كتاب الحب  for Nizar Qabbani, I use it a lot with my
beginning students:
http://nizariat.com/poetry.php?id=105

 Also, you may check لافتات  for Ahamad Matar, both have very short poems
while Matar's is more political:

Also in this link:
http://www.suzanne-alaywan.com/A_Presence_Called_Love.htm
Suzan Eliwan who is a contemporary writer combines her childish drawings
and very short poems in a very creative way.
Most of her peotry which is available on her website
http://www.suzanne-alaywan.com/Poetry.htm  contain short poems which -I
would argue - reflect the unrest and confusion of teenagers in a very
bitter fragmented manner. I started reading he poetry in magazines for
young writers when I was a teenager - and she was too -  and it touched me
deeply.

Hope this helps,
Best,
Ebtissam Oraby

Dear Virginia,
I would recommend you Nizar Qabbani’s volume entiled Qamus
al-‘ashiqin. Some of the poems in the volume are very brief and have all the
other elements you are looking for. I am using these poems in the classes
with
my first year students (who are AFL beginners).
Best regards,
Irina
