You got me started... wikipedia.org actually has a good descr: field for the epigram.

poetic-form: EPIGRAM
descr:      What is an Epigram? A dwarfish whole;
            Its body brevity, and wit its soul. 
            (Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834)

In other words. Shane's proposal for the poetic-form object is nice.
