I recently read the following poem out of the book "The Best Poems Ever",

IN A STATION OF THE METRO
Ezra Pound
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

I think it is interesting that it got into the book "the Best Poems Ever" because although it does capture the feeling of people passing in a metro station it is so short. Had the author Ezra Pound gone on and made more comparisons I feel it would have been a much better poem and then may have earned the right to be in "The Best Poems Ever."
