A regular plural, made with a plain -s and taking plural verbs: the poems are short. Each poem is one countable instance of poetry, so the plural counts pieces while poetry names the art as a whole: three poems, but a book of poetry. Poems also carries the looser, admiring meaning of poem, praising writing for its intensity of expression rather than its verse form.
