The present paper aims to compare the short poems of Yadollah Royaei and Bijan Jalali in a descriptive-analytical method. The results of the study show that both poets have tried new ways for composing poetry and despite the obvious differences in terms of structure and linguistic approach to poetry, they sometimes deal with common intellectual ideas, and even sometimes, especially in their very short poems, they are similar to each other linguistically. This is while Jalali's poems tend to simplicity, they are prose-like, and Royaei’s poems tend to ambiguity and complexity and are more metaphorical. From the content viewpoint, both poets have put their philosophical thoughts in poetry; they are both inclined to the social man. Jalali conflicts with the existence and the present and Royaei conflicts with the word. Both of them have used religious and mythological elements in their poems.
